You’re blaming too much on independence and not factoring other circumstance

Yeah, draft picks were dwindling before independence.

Everyone assumes we would have been world beaters by staying in the MWC

You mean we are playing MWC teams with nothing on the line? In a

You can play the big boys in a G5. How do you think we built our brand? How do

Do you want to feel like a P5 or not? Do you want to build depth and a power

Really? It's trending in that direction?

Whatever. I’m glad y’all aren’t running BYU’s program. Do you

The current setup isn't working

TNT believes BYU's long-term survival is to be in a conference
TNT
6/24/19 7:14pm
That’s fair. But my entire take is not about just “waiting to get into the club”
Cougblau
6/24/19 7:21pm
BYU has repeatedly shown they don't have the depth to survive that schedule
TNT
6/24/19 7:23pm
Get back to me after this year. I think we can build that depth, you don’t and

How are they meaningful?

BYU was ranked #20 last year after week 4, and we were 3-1!

BYU cannot thrive in the Independent framework

Cool. I’ll support BYU til the day I die, and I think you will too.

TNT never attended BYU

So your solution is ... to close up shop? It’s not the 70s and 80s anymore.

We haven’t been that since the 80’s man.

And don’t even get me started on how you’d react when BYU (Gasp) didn’t

Yeah our players only want to win if there is a MWC championship on the line. If

I've heard it first hand out of players mouths. Past and present.

I just don't see how indy would make that much of a difference with those things

Most Y fans don't see it. Always pointing to everything else. Fans underestimate

The past titles built our brand. You don't get to those Holiday Bowls and

If your point is that indy has been a step back from what we had in MWC...

1. TNT doesn't want the MWC. 2. WCC sucks for hoops
TNT
6/24/19 6:58pm
You bring in recruits by winning, not by who you play. Some of the all time
777
6/24/19 7:02pm
Well I think we can agree it's a combination of winning AND who you play.

6/24/19 7:03pm
Are you talking about the championship that Boise hosted which drew 12k less

I fail to see how Indy is the cause of all that and how staying in the MWC would

Yeah, BYU can't beat Utah because the team is independent...
jaromp
6/24/19 6:53pm
And Indendepence doesn't appear to utilize BYU's strengths
TNT
6/24/19 6:55pm
Could it be that BYU has been floating in the "no man's land" of independence

How many times does BYU beat Utah if we're still in the MWC?

I disagree. It's a mindset. Indy has made us a lackluster program with no chip

That’s a theory that you have no means of proving.

Phil Steele himself said on the radio the other day that USU hasn’t passed BYU.

Ever since the Wikileaks scandal broke, we can't beat Utah. Curse you Assange!
