to Indy corresponded with the missionary age change and some smaller class sizes as well as a last minute scramble to land players in 2013. That is, fewer recruits meant lower numbers (except for 2013 when BYU was forced to land a lot of low rated, last minute OLs).
The average number of stars is on the rise.
I'm confident it would be falling if BYU were in the MWC given the current atmosphere of the 'haves' and 'have nots'.
