I doubt that the BOT care much about sports in general. All want BYU to well,

They don't have to, unfortunately.

I will support BYU sports win or lose. Maybe that makes me part of the problem.

I applaud you for your decision. There is value there for you

I agree. You are paying for an entertainment product, not the right

The lack of quality opponents on the home schedule this year doesn't help either

No, I'm right. Those are good programs that have middling results... & sometimes

You make this too easy. Let's look at Iowa and K-State

No. Not even close

It totally is fair weather fan behavior. 100%

Nope. He's probably dropped more coin than you, sat through some tough years.

But he just said he's losing interest because the team hasnt been having success
