USU had a great season last year, and their reward? The New Mexico Bowl against an overmatched opponent. Go back to the Mountain West for that? Hmmmmmmm........no. BYU does not need any more conference championships.
No. Joining a G5 conference is to embrace a path that has already been very well trodden by Cougar teams the past. No desire to go that route. Though it is a tough row to hoe, I would like to see the team continue to put their hand to the plow and not look back.
