I think we need 1-2 more annual rivalries. Would be much more exciting.

Right now, because we don't have more annual rivalries, we had to schedule some pretty bad filler in November, like UMass. The problem with UMass and other schools, is we have no BYU fanbase in Massachusetts.

I'd prefer to schedule a Texas school in an annual basis. We have a growing fanbase in Texas, and it is good recruiting area.

For those that would love to go the AAC or back to the MWC, there is no way we

Next year's schedule is basically an AAC or MWC schedule.

Can't underestimate games vs Boise, SDSU, USF, and USU. All 4 could be ranked.

Richbyu

4/15/19 2:30pm

Didn't USF and SDSU both finish with 7 wins? Where is ranked coming from?

4/15/19 2:53pm

Both were ranked early on last year - I know SDSU returns a lot of players

BYU Fan

4/15/19 2:57pm

SDSU is my favorite for winning the West division this year. They will be good.

How they started doesn't factor at all. They finished poorly.

4/15/19 4:16pm

After suffering a bunch of injuries - I bet they are decent this year

BYU Fan

4/15/19 5:26pm

USF lost their last 6 games in a row. They have a LOT to figure out.

4/15/19 6:05pm

Dude...stop it. You're confusing us and hurting our feelings with your facts.

It would be nice to play some more ranked teams. I just wouldn't count on two

4/15/19 7:44pm

No G5 team is playing 3 PAC12 teams at home

mwcoug

4/15/19 2:32pm

Yep. Boise plays one P5 not 4

Coogar2

4/15/19 3:51pm

But the games are actually (usually) on TV. That's a huge difference.

Agreed. But we do need maybe 3-4 annual rivalries to make Indy more fun.

Richbyu

4/15/19 2:28pm

we play Utah, USU, and Boise on an almost yearly basis. That's 3 rivalries.

Richbyu

4/15/19 2:35pm

So you want 5-6, not 3-4. You asked for 3-4 and I gave you 3-4.

Kajdin

4/15/19 2:36pm

No. I want 4. Right now we only ever have 3. Really need at least 1 more.

Richbyu

4/15/19 2:40pm

I would not be opposed to AAC if it was limited to a 5-6 game conf schedule.

Thrill

4/15/19 2:29pm

Why would they do that?

I'mBatman

4/15/19 3:12pm

It could help their SOS too for some of the top tier teams that need another

Thrill

4/15/19 3:19pm

We usually play 6-8 of those caliber teams anyway. Our SOS has actually been

You are misinterpreting strength of schedule with exposure. I was highlighting

Coach's Dad

4/15/19 2:44pm

I guess I just don’t think Indy has really moved the program forward

Mr. Scoobs

4/15/19 3:07pm

These statements are so crazy

BYU Fan

4/15/19 2:39pm

He would have sat the bench at Florida State, though.

Richbyu

4/15/19 2:42pm

So BYU would still have been a great option even in the AAC

BYU Fan

4/15/19 2:45pm

You said his other 2 were G5 teams. So may being in those conferences doesn't

I would hope that BYU should beat out Marshall and W Kentucky

I hope Ty'Son is great for us, but I don't understand this claim.

I agree with this.

Four star recruit.

Coach's Dad

4/15/19 4:18pm

No. According to 247 he is a 3 star transfer. He was 4 star out of high school.

TrueAggieBlue

4/15/19 4:22pm

4 Star Recruit on ESPN

Richbyu

4/15/19 4:26pm

Again, he was 4 star out of high school. ESPN doesn't evaluate transfers.

TrueAggieBlue

4/15/19 4:34pm

Since USU fans don't follow BYU at all, I doubt you really know much....

Richbyu

4/15/19 6:16pm

There's no such thing as a star rated transfer. They're already college players,

4/15/19 4:26pm

uh... okay...

TrueAggieBlue

4/15/19 4:32pm

lol and you take that seriously?

4/15/19 6:11pm

But we are BYU and have some recruiting limitations. So

Coach's Dad

4/15/19 4:17pm

No BYU players ever went pro before BYU went Indy.

Total crap.... It's awesome we got a very good recruit. That doesn't make us

Resurgens

4/15/19 6:24pm

Of course. This is just another incremental benefit.

Coach's Dad

4/15/19 6:47pm

but maybe our overall recruiting is better due to being in a conference and so..

icecougar

4/15/19 7:21pm

Possible. But there are other benefits to not being in a conference.

Coach's Dad

4/15/19 9:45pm

So Indy has helped our recruiting in no meaningful way up until now...
