More Independents?

Texas was considering independence as recently as the summer, so was Air Force

Link?

I wish Air Force would do it. They'd be a great independent partner IMO

OK, I'll start dreaming a bit here. What if the last 4 games of the season were

You're correct. I would only take a few addition marquee indys.

ND doesn't care about us. Screw them

Can someone explain why ND and BYU don't have an annual game?

Heath Squashwell

Had ND not made the deal with the ACC, then I think that an annual game would have been more likely.

Adrielle

Supply and demand. They have 12 games a year and 128 teams that will play them

I sure wish we had that same luxury

Heath Squashwell

10/26/16 11:41am

Exactly. What is ND's rationale playing for an annual game w/ us? None.

Simple. They want to keep their 8-9 home games/year schedule....

8 to 9 home games? Hmmmm......they have 7 this year, 7 2017, 7 2018

Haha.... like any of those bloated Big 12 teams could take a financial haircut

This is the issue. They don't have a clue how independence would impact revenue.

justkeyrock

10/26/16 9:51am

Texas and Oklahoma could.

Shhhhh...let's just let them keep thinking that Indy can work for them.

They absolutely should!!! So BYU can take their spot in the Big 12

I do think if the playoff expands, that a few more teams might go Independent.

WVU has been independent for most of its history (since 1891).

most people don't remember just how many Independent teams there were.

It would be great for BYU if that many teams became Independents again.

That would prove all the WV stupid redneck jokes are true.
