TCU and UU both struggled for 3-4 years before they started catching up to the schools in their conference.... and they got paid over $25M. BYU hasn't been trending down, but they haven't been trending up. Yes, they had one terrible season (after hiring a completely inexpereinced coaching staff, running a bad offense and struggling with injuries). Two seasons ago Notre Dame won only 3 games. Would you call that a trend?
Be a BYU supporter and not a Yner. Be the fan that makes kids want to play at BYU. Critical, cynical fans don't improve the perception of any school or team.
