Going back to the MWC does not mean we will start having special seasons,

Regardless of MWC or Indy, the product on the field just has NOT been as good as it once was. Having John Beck/Curtis Brown/Harline or the Max Hall/ Dennis Pitta / Harvey Unga/ Austin Collie players plus stout defenses in combination with those guys made it a special season.

Winning a Conf championship while playing Wyoming/UNLV/New Mexico/ AFA / Colorado State / SDSU every year was not special because of the conference, it was special because we were nationally ranked, could compete with top 25 teams, and had a very talented team.

Why is everyone suggesting go back to the MWC?

MWC = AAC = CUSA

No. There's a huge difference between 7mm/yr and 400k/yr.

I think his point may be that a pig is still a pig, no matter the size.

here's to hoping

6/24/19 11:34pm

From what I see of East Coast bias, AAC might not be a bad thing.

6/25/19 9:19am

MWC, AAC. Same crap. I know you like to think the AAC is different

LiveCoug

6/24/19 7:17pm

It is different. If you can't see how the AAC gets more national recognition

TNT

6/24/19 7:17pm

Sure, it's better than the MWC. You don't need to convince me of that

LiveCoug

Because wins are better than losses and a loss to Michigan is equal to a loss to

Yeah, the last 8+ years of independence have really done a lot for the program..

What will help is a worse alternative.

We've had zero special seasons since going Indy. Zero. We at least got

I think we all miss that. I just don’t think going to the MWC or having been

che flaco

Well then we're done. Sad times.

SandYFan

Such a quitter, we're not done

Pretorian

So many factors in that.

Hawaii, UCONN, Northern Illinois all had special seasons, the likes of which BYU has never had.

JohnnyComeLately

6/24/19 10:05pm

Well at least they had a special season unlike BYU has ever had. 🙂

SandYFan

6/24/19 10:26pm

They were all exposed in their bowl games. Soft schedules did them no good.

Bossk82

6/25/19 10:29am

you Think we had a “special season” in the MW? Which one was that?

Pretorian

Going back to the MWC does not mean we will start having special seasons,

Zoobieman

Smart guys... UCF is way worse than BYU, because INDY is so prestigious and

84 was better than UCF

puntersarepeople

6/25/19 6:48am

This is incorrect, big time...

Pretorian

6/25/19 6:50am

You say that as if there was another better option... there isn’t

Pretorian

6/25/19 6:34am

Better the season to be over after 1-2 losses and limp to lame bowls.

Mr. Scoobs

6/24/19 7:33pm

This. ^^^^^

cdr88

6/24/19 7:48pm

Let’s say that we get one special season in 15 years of going Indy where we

6/24/19 11:26pm

You do realize we finished ranked 4-5 times in the MW right?

Mr. Scoobs

6/25/19 7:08am

Yes I do, thanks. And what else has changed since those days besides BYU?

6/25/19 11:34am

You realize that BYU regularly finished in the top 25 in the MWC, right?

reddead

6/25/19 8:15am

Yes, and plenty of others have already detailed how the college landscape has

6/25/19 11:27am

G5 teams still regularly finish the season ranked

You make a great point and that's good data. But there are still other issues:

Indy hasn’t made BYU any more relevant. Just win baby.

Mr. Scoobs

6/24/19 8:02pm

The issue is "Just Win" isn't really sustainable as an Indy. And that comes

6/24/19 8:08pm

I don’t necessarily disagree, Independence is very imperfect.

che flaco

6/24/19 8:21pm

We can take a MW schedule and label it “Indy” and people think it’s miles

Mr. Scoobs

6/24/19 8:40pm

I agree. I'm pushing back against the idea that BYU can play a mostly P5

6/24/19 9:25pm

Just the thought has me ready to run through a wall.

squidmark

6/24/19 8:06pm

I think it's funny how you make this statement mockingly that BYU

6/24/19 8:16pm

I’m not arguing that those numbers aren’t atrocious, I just can’t fathom how

che flaco

6/24/19 8:25pm

Do you think a NY6 would do anything to bolster some fun and excitement?

777

6/24/19 8:30pm

Maybe, but is it worth it? How often would that even happen?

che flaco

6/24/19 8:50pm

The truth is somewhere in between. Indy isn't all that, and the MWC isn't all

Wait so you're saying there's no genie in the MWC trophy that bestows the winner untold wealth

Couple problems with you post.....

BSU has a TV agreement with ESPN separate from the MW cube conference

puntersarepeople

6/24/19 9:57pm

Im sure we could work something like that out as well.

Holy exaggerated hyperbole Batman....

He didn’t say anything about the AAC. He said the MWC

You could ask your same questions about Independence

That makes sense

Medute

6/25/19 8:49am

Utah has one runner up in 8 years and that’s the status quo?

6/25/19 8:01am

The funniest part is where you say we’ll dominate Nevada and San Jose.
