That was then. This is now. If BYU has pulled off one or two runs when we had the chance wed still be in the same boat

As we are now. We’d just have something recent to hang out hats on

I wish BYU was in the MWC- we’d have something to play for. The schedule would look something like this for 2018

AAC baby

Wasn’t the AAC baby aborted?

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

After last year the AAC is like, BYU who?

But we'd have a better chance of playing one of our 4-6 guaranteed P5 opponents on January 1st! That's all I want/need!

And yet Boise has been to and won two BCS games and may have more national

7/10/18 12:29pm

Our road schedules make it very difficult to make any type of run

franklyvulgar

7/10/18 12:40pm

Big time. But this was comparing the past and we did have our chance to go on those rums

SouthernBlueBlood

7/10/18 12:41pm

Agreed. But our schedule this year doesn't give us the chance that Boise has

NorCal Cougar

7/10/18 12:47pm

No it doesn’t. But from my point of view BYU has a much higher ceiling even if it seems so far away

SouthernBlueBlood

7/10/18 12:51pm

How about our schedule next year?

ManicBlue

7/10/18 1:31pm

That's because Boise has been a better team.

Dissenter

7/10/18 2:36pm

BYU still has more respect overall than Boise St.

Chet Donnelly

7/10/18 5:57pm

Disagree. How many non-BYU fans even know BYU won one? Sports is more about what

NorCal Cougar

Having a good fb team takes precedence over something to play for.

BYUButters

Would having something to play for motivate them to be a better team?

franklyvulgar

7/10/18 12:46pm

If I put myself in the position of a BYU football player, I am motivated by many

BeefNoodleCoug

7/10/18 12:53pm

Top 25 and NY6 are highly unlikely unless TH dumbs down the schedule

franklyvulgar

7/10/18 12:57pm

That’s it- I love that- college is to prepare you. Conference championship don’t mean didily. We should be about 3-4 yr

SouthernBlueBlood

7/10/18 12:57pm

Don't also forget having much higher revenue

^^^this is the most important thing to an AD that can NOT go into the red

Nat Gas Man

7/10/18 2:11pm

Anytime somebody suggests being in the same conf as USU I die a little inside.

mudpupper

7/10/18 12:47pm

don't worry if it ever happens it won't be in FBS

Nat Gas Man

7/10/18 2:11pm

Why would we suddenly be in ny6 contention in the mwc? We're we before? I think you are just tired of playing p5 teams

monkeycowboy

7/10/18 1:31pm

I feel like you were one of those kids who didn’t read their homework assignment first and never read the entire thing

SouthernBlueBlood

7/10/18 1:37pm

So we're in agreement

monkeycowboy

7/10/18 1:42pm

I refuse to answer that based on principle

SouthernBlueBlood

7/10/18 2:15pm

I'm still glad we're no longer in the MWC. We play all over the country, make

BYU really needs 4-5 annual "same" opponents, though...

Richbyu

7/10/18 2:28pm

Adding Hawaii at second half of the year would be great

SouthernBlueBlood

7/10/18 2:35pm

Ironic how some of us look at Boise and thumb our noses at them, but

Who has more revenue from tv and Bowls combined in that time

cougarfann888

7/10/18 4:59pm

I found an article that said

Byu_1988

7/10/18 9:54pm

So realistically BYU’s revenue from those 2 sources is likely higher than bsus

cougarfann888

7/10/18 10:18pm

Who cares? I'd rather have wins, top 25 finishes, etc. than more revenue.

NorCal Cougar

7/11/18 9:56am

If you assume the $4.4 million is a normal take for each year

Byu_1988

7/11/18 10:02am

somewhere your numbers are off. In total revenue BYU is almost double BSU

Nat Gas Man

7/11/18 10:13am

In total revenue, maybe, but I was talking just TV, bowl payouts, and CFP

Byu_1988

7/11/18 10:52am

you can do a search on CB and probably find it. But schools have to report to

Nat Gas Man

7/11/18 11:09am

One of your primary arguments in the initial post was money from bowl games

cougarfann888

7/11/18 3:08pm

Boise's sweetheart deal will shortly sunset. BTW, if the MWC had treated BYU

BYUButters

7/10/18 5:36pm

No they wouldn't, things were set in motion long before the P10 realignment

Nat Gas Man

7/10/18 10:43pm

I don't understand your comment at all.

BYUButters

7/11/18 12:36pm

No matter what BYU would not be in the MWC. That decision was made before Utah

Nat Gas Man

7/11/18 12:41pm

C, that makes sense.

BYUButters

7/11/18 3:55pm

What does "their payouts" mean? The bowls payouts?

stoils

7/11/18 9:46am

what if we were 0-2 after Troy and UCONN?

Hill4Heisman

7/10/18 3:14pm

Did you just read the header? I think you just read the header

SouthernBlueBlood

7/10/18 3:21pm

At least I see 6 wins in that schedule

idcougarfan

7/10/18 5:42pm

I would rather play AZ, Cal, Wisky, Wash and Utah

Coogar2

7/10/18 6:47pm

I'd like that sched if there was one more P5 good team.

7/11/18 9:27am

Ugh...how is that schedule better than the one we have?

jsjohnson1278

SouthernBlueBlood

7/11/18 11:31am

Nope, read the whole post.

jsjohnson1278

7/11/18 3:05pm

And you still think I liked the schedule?

SouthernBlueBlood

7/11/18 4:24pm

Whoops, you're right... I did miss the last line.

jsjohnson1278

7/11/18 5:49pm

I'll take every schedule from last year to whatever has several games scheduled
