Historical recruiting is irrelevant. For the last decade BYU has mostly been

If BYU made an effort to target more non-member recruits, a move to a P5

You're right that consistently being 15-20 spots higher in recruiting would

Furthermore, you haven't really addressed why BYU wouldn't be an attractive P5

Tunnel singing happens in most campuses right?

JackStack

11/15/18 5:16pm

Well. I'd assume so. Who wouldn't want to tunnel sing?

Better question: Why can't the church and BOT see the potential?

The more we lose the weaker the connection between out-of-state Mormon & BYU fan

How? All im saying is that there really aren’t that

byuteris

Hmmm. And it is estimated that BYU has 750,000 fans. UU has an estimated 350K —

I’m not making the argument that the UofU has more fans.

The article is 4 years old, but it stated that UU only had 325K... I added 25k.

Ya, that BYU’s potential is average at best

byuteris

11/16/18 8:15am

Hmmm, they won an NC with less potential, so I'm not buying what you're selling.
