We have never gone to a BCS bowl or NY6, since 84 and the conference thing is ridiculous. It holds weight in NCAA basketball, but not in a G5 conference. Who cares.
BYU has a winning problem. They take in a lot more money as an Indy, so I don't think we should confuse the issue at hand. More consistent QB play and coaching and BYU is in pretty good shape in Indy.
People are grasping at straws when they blame Indy for our problems. The front loaded schedule is tough and playing more top level teams is tough, but you don't deserve the national recognition unless you can beat the top teams. Indy gives us a chance at that.
