of an invite are the same whether we are in a G5 or INDY. Our lack of an invite has nothing to do with us an athletic program, only our political obstacles. Being an INDY doesn't make those obstacles go away.

True, but if it's about NY6 bowls, I'd bet the selection committee would be

You don't see how BYU's value has changed over the course of the past 50 years?

100% this. How did TCU get to the Big 12 in 2011 but not us? Not hard people

Because TCU's AD and Texas' AD hung out at a restaurant for a few hours.

SOS has been weaker as Indy so far. Not sure why the Indy label is so meaningful

Mr. Scoobs

We would have been terrible in 2017 no matter where we played.

Explain how Indy gets us closer or how that works.

Mr. Scoobs

Maybe these reasons aren't that compelling to you but I'll try.

Add to that if BYU can get the wins against more P5 teams we will begin to

BYU's ties with the church make the P5 thing less likely every second. Give me

BYU has not played well enough to get to a NY6 bowl in any conference

Very much disagree. All the P5 conferences know who we are and that we are

Win out against 7 P5 opponents? That's all we have to do?

We worry about dream season opportunities when we can't beat UMass at home.

So much this. If we were going 12-0 as indy w/o NY6, then there is a case for G5
