So P5 and resources matter, and USU has neither. Hence why they won't overtake BYU. But are better situated now to compete than 10 years ago.

Utah and BYU leaving the MWC created a vacuum. USU filled it somewhat.

Were you a BYU fan in 1998? Did you view Utah the same way you view USU now?

With USU, its an ebb and flow. It's no tide. P5, resources, etc.
