Not quite. He's said the financial difference isn't sustainable.

Why being an Independent in football is sustainable

Holmoe and Mendenhall have both gone on record saying it's not sustainable. Are you doubting them?
buffgato
10/18/16 2:05pm
Yes.

A little common sense. If the conditions of being independent change, so does

A quick Google search indicates they said this as recently as 2015. Has the CFB environment fundamentally changed since?
buffgato
10/18/16 2:11pm
Two things changed: ACC network and extended GOR, and B12 announced expansion

Yep. TH was talking money difference w/P5. Going back to G5 makes that worse.

More attractive is not the same thing as sustainable
buffgato
10/18/16 2:27pm
So you believe BYU Football is going to die?
kimdaddy35
10/18/16 2:35pm
I don't know, I'm not the one looking at the balance sheet. It's a very interesting word choice, like TH knows something
buffgato
10/18/16 3:12pm
So you admit Holmoe also meant "Going back to a G5 conf is even less sustainable
bluebrotha
10/18/16 3:13pm
Huh? I didn't say anything about that. It's probably true though.
buffgato
10/18/16 3:33pm
Mendenhall is on record as saying that

Depends on if you think Holmoe was being sincere or playing the PR game
TNT
10/18/16 2:05pm
Good points
SnickSnack
10/18/16 2:05pm
better forward this to tom holmoe
nashty
10/18/16 2:05pm
LOL. I'm pretty sure Holmoe knows a thing or two about this topic.
Bostonblue
10/18/16 2:22pm
he does know a lot...and HE AGREES WITH ME!!!
nashty
10/18/16 2:58pm
Wrong. The whole point of his interview last Friday was to prove unequivocally
Bostonblue
10/18/16 3:27pm
you are, again, wrong. for many reasons:
nashty
10/18/16 5:32pm
Props for the stubbornness Nashty. But you better have your come to the light
Bostonblue
10/18/16 6:17pm
Yes it is sustainable, and that has been proven by the years we have been Indy.
TheLoneCougar
10/18/16 3:02pm
What does the past really prove though? TH's comments gave me the impression that he feels the squeeze more every year
buffgato
10/18/16 3:16pm
Potentially that is true, but our contract is up here in a year or two and we

I'm waiting for TH to tell me its sustainable everything I've heard is its not
franklyvulgar
10/18/16 2:06pm
So you believe that BYU would be better off in the AAC or MWC
kimdaddy35
10/18/16 2:21pm
I don't know all I know is TH has repeatedly said indy is not sustainable
franklyvulgar
10/18/16 2:25pm
TH wanted badly for BYU to get into a P-5, it didn't happen
kimdaddy35
10/18/16 2:27pm
Not quite. He's said the financial difference isn't sustainable.
SCcoug
10/18/16 2:28pm
Meaning remain competitive with P5 teams with the financial gap in place?
franklyvulgar
10/18/16 2:30pm
That's what I understood. Coaching salaries, facilities, budgets, etc.
SCcoug
10/18/16 2:33pm
The future scheduling is not sustainable
El Paso Coug
10/18/16 2:49pm
the need to schedule 8-10 P5 teams is a real issue
Nat Gas Man
10/18/16 2:06pm
In what way? If we go to the AAC or the MWC, how many P5 games
kimdaddy35
10/18/16 2:19pm
I think it's very sustainable too....if BYU can win those amazing games
reagan21
10/18/16 2:07pm
ESPN has been able to get a lot of those matchups
TNT
10/18/16 2:08pm
with ESPN's financial troubles I'd look to these pay games
reagan21
10/18/16 2:09pm
Yep, it's not perfect but BYU can do it. Need donors to step up.
Bostonblue
10/18/16 2:08pm
Independence is fun, it just makes our athletic director work harder than any

The thing about Alabama is, they aren't very good TV. Too many blow outs.
Coach's Dad
10/18/16 2:10pm
unless schools start to decline scheduling us.
oryguncoug
10/18/16 2:14pm
You are assuming that we can continue to put together schedules like this year
El Paso Coug
10/18/16 2:48pm
Our schedules are starting to take shape all of the way out to 2023
kimdaddy35
10/18/16 2:53pm
Still need 3 more P5 schools to add . . .
El Paso Coug
10/18/16 3:47pm
It absolutely is "sustainable" if that word and definition is what you are using
