You're saying that BYU 1978 - 1996 was not better than UU is this year — because they are part of a wealthy conference? OK. Your fandom is suspended until you wake up. Fear and loathing have clouded your vision. UU is good and is making p5 cash, but they have looked 'very good' in two 2018 games.
BYU has 4 games BEFORE we even need to think about the team up north.
