Change much in attractiveness. G5 doesn't get BYU anything more than what it already has.....except conference awards that are equivalent to participation trophies

What makes you think last years team would have performed any better in the MWC? We would have still missed a bowl

Fine. But most years would be more interesting.

And what would the same team in the MWC have to play for? We lose 1 or 2 games

It’s the exact same floor in the MWC with a much lower ceiling and a boring route to get there
