Rutgers was not invited because of their stellar winning record (they had no such record)
TCU was not invited bc they'd been winning
etc.

Shouldn't BYU be #1 if we're going off of money boost, fanbase, facilities, etc?

UNLV and Colo St are Tier 1 Research Universities; Boise, BYU, SDSU aren't

You can add UNR to that list of tier 1 research institutions.

I'd pump the brakes... those other schools don't have baggage like BYU does.

But they contradict the "research school" line given for BYU. BSU? Research? Yeah right!

LGBTs are a problem? Or BYU’s treatment of them is a problem?

Cincinnati and UCF have location and recruiting access.

You are right about the second team being the issue in 2016.

In 2016, ESPN offered them more money to just stop talking about expansion.

that's bc just like with Utah, TCU and others, win % is irrelevant to the expansion discussion
