Sure — but watch what happens when BYU pulls off two 10 win season in a row.

They'll be in the press all the time.

BYU is a good story and a media darling. Independence compounds this exponentially.

Just need to win.

BYU will not compete staying independent no matter how much you wish they could

FCS would be even better than AAC

Staup...this is such a silly counter argument.

Is it though?

If we were in the AAC the past 6 years (since inception) I can only see one year

Look what Boise state has done in the mountain west

Won 3 road P5 games in 20 years? For reference Kalani also has 3.

Ok and they are a lot more nationally recognized than BYU at the moment

But they had to paint their field like it was a duck pond to do so.

Well EWU has a red field and most people haven't heard of them

BYU Fan

They beat Oklahoma (check), TCU (check), and Arizona (check)

We are P5 when it comes to fan base, attendance, resources, facilities, etc.

Yes I agree my opinion is go G5

Maybe we should go JC then.

Compete for what?

a priori

6/25/19 6:38pm

Compete for conference championships and NY6 bowls

Anyone who said that BYU "quit" when they went Independent doesn't have a clue.

a priori

I believe BYU went independent to try and keep up with the Utes

BYU Fan

6/26/19 10:07am

Nope — they went Independent to stop dealing w/ the MWC.

a priori

6/26/19 10:41am

I'd agree this was another factor - the MWC leadership & TV deal was a joke

With the high risk of independence, come bad consequences.

Is winning 10 games in back to back seasons a realistic hope w/ indy schedules?

BYU Fan

6/26/19 10:05am

No idea. I'd rather be Independent than win fake trophies in a G5 league.

a priori

6/26/19 10:42am

I'd rather win than play fancy exhibition games

BYU Fan

6/26/19 11:23am

So, you want BYU to have a schedule full of the UNLV, Wyomings, and New Mexicos

a priori

6/26/19 6:09pm

Highly unlikely scenario when we play 5 to 7 P5 opponents per year
