Which is best for BYU football: Independence or AAC membership? Personally, I can only answer this question with another question: What are BYU's goals?
If BYU's goal is to... |
Then it should... |
Earn more money |
Stay independent |
Get more exposure |
Stay independent |
Win a national championship |
Stay independent |
Win a conference championship |
Go to the AAC |
Go to/win an NY6 game |
Go to the AAC |
Finish the season ranked in the top 25 |
Go to the AAC |
Beat their rivals |
Stay independent |
Have complete control of its schedule, play all over the country |
Stay independent |
My position regarding BYU football is pretty well documented here on CB: Stay independent, but ease up on the schedule so we can be in a better position to reach our goal of finishing the season with a top-25 ranking.
