like a bunch of people here propose business ideas (conference affiliation) that don't make any sense or defy simple logic whatsoever on a daily basis (at least in the off season).

Makes me wonder if these people are really all that successful 😉

CB is supposedly full of wealthy businessmen yet so many don't understand the

Many here overestimate the BYU brand ITO. As does some of the University

TNT

6/25/19 2:46pm

BYU's brand is fine IMO otherwise we wouldn't be able to get our own contract

ManicBlue

6/25/19 2:52pm

TNT didn't say the brand was not valuable. Just overvalued

TNT

6/25/19 2:56pm

Byu’s audience is BYU fans. That’s our brand power.

Does the 'average college football fan' care much about any team other than

ManicBlue

6/25/19 4:23pm

They care about the other teams in their conference. That’s huge.

SlantRoute

6/25/19 5:13pm

Yeah doubt that for the 'average' fan ... maybe the more hardcore fan.

I watched a ton of MWC games that BYU wasn’t playing in

SlantRoute

6/25/19 6:19pm

So ... you're saying that you're average? Gotcha 😃

ManicBlue

6/25/19 6:28pm

Yep. I’m pretty average. Watch an average amount of football.

SlantRoute

6/25/19 8:13pm

I see the problem here. It's a perception issue. 😃

The AAC makes a whole lot more than the other conferences you listed

Jesse Pinkman

6/25/19 2:48pm

The new AAC tv deal gives each school about $7M a year

mudpupper

6/25/19 2:52pm

And that new deal has not started; current AAC deal is just under $2M per school

BYUFam1

6/25/19 3:50pm

Why can't we do both, be in a G5 and have a espn deal? You used the example of

kolob32

6/25/19 2:49pm

Because the AAC isn't desperate to add BYU? The MWC had to keep BSU.

mudpupper

6/25/19 2:51pm

Well let's find a conference desperate enough to let us keep espn deal and

the $$$ isn't helping improve the football team- hasn't finished ranked in AP as

franklyvulgar

6/25/19 2:51pm

There are a ton of factors when it comes to the performance of teams.

mudpupper

6/25/19 2:55pm

I dunno, Bronco went from winning 10+ and being ranked to not as Indy

franklyvulgar

6/25/19 2:58pm

How many of those ranked team consisted primarily of Bronco's own recruits?

CougarThug

6/25/19 3:05pm

I think this is the first time I've seen Bronco's success given to Crowton.

ochobeeguy

6/25/19 9:12pm

I think the biggest issue is simply QB play

Dissenter

6/25/19 3:08pm

fair and accurate point

franklyvulgar

6/25/19 3:09pm

I totally agree if you were to apply the Ben Criddle pie chart of accountability

Trent

6/25/19 6:36pm

2014 and 2015 were the years

puntersarepeople

6/25/19 6:59pm

You can more correctly blame that on coaching.

CougarThug

6/25/19 3:01pm

Only because of Taysom's injuries. BYU has had the pieces.

mulletino

6/25/19 3:16pm

I think that highlights the notion that we are a bit thin - a key injury here and there means the difference

Bob Vance

6/25/19 6:09pm

Every team that has a Heisman-caliber QB go down sees major drop off. (Oklahoma 2009 anyone?)

mulletino

6/25/19 6:19pm

This is 95% true. There are a few teams that were grandfathered into the new Good Ole Boys.

Q-grr

6/25/19 2:52pm

Way more than a few. The bulk of P5 media value rests on 20 or fewer schools

boscatar

6/25/19 3:50pm

Erring on the side of caution to stymie the likes of DeGroot, Mudpupper and the Nancies out there.

Q-grr

6/25/19 4:22pm

You call 1.5 million more than the AAC a modest TV deal?

Coug

Stop ruining his argument with financial mumbo jumbo.

ochobeeguy

6/25/19 9:19pm

Looks like you mixed up ACC and AAC

CB is also full of people who are NOT wealthy businessmen.

SingleStrapBackpack

6/25/19 3:08pm

CB income polls tend to say otherwise

TNT

mudpupper

6/25/19 3:23pm

I got your point. My point is that unless you've done an exhaustive cross-correlation of CBers based on past posting

TNT is a wealthy businessman? hey TNT...I need a loan 🙂

A bunch of wealthy businessmen? Ooookaay

Sexytaxman

Thank you Mr. Obvious. However keep in mind there are many who are not in business, yet. There are youth on this
