I would 110% agree if we were P5 but the top LDS athletes want to play

our schedule is P5 good the next couple of years. ND was in the final 4 this year.

Incredibly excited for our schedules ahead but the fact remains we are not P5

this is a what if thread... if we had all of the best LDS athletes in Provo we'd be final 4 good. That means we'd be ND.

The original argument was if all LSD athletes played at BYU.

For whatever reason, BYU athletes are more closely associated with the Church
