You are getting thumbs down for your conclusion, however, your point about

players is spot on and something I have posted before. The players are kids. They need goals. And not having a conference championship to shoot for after a loss is damaging. Anyone saying otherwise or that they "should" play with pride is deceiving themselves.

She's the most passionate BYU fan I know. She'll stay up till 2-3am watching

Good for her I guess. But maybe deal with reality, and G5 isn't it.

I hope you're right. Because I don't see us going back to G5, but sometimes I

Every team has 'nothing to play for' after 2 conference losses, which is about

Utah had 3 losses (2 conference losses) but were still in conf. championship

Yeah, but that's P5. You were making a case for G5. Hardly the same situation.

8/19/19 3:05pm

I'm pro-Indy, but this argument is not the one to hang your hat on. It's false.

8/19/19 3:11pm

Yup.

5-6 of our regular season games are better than any bowl game

It's not that simple from a competitive standpoint. All of our games are front

This!!! We are 2-11 in Games 3 and 4 against P5 opponents since going Indy.

After this year, the schedules are way more balanced.

8/19/19 3:31pm

Not really, we are scheduled to open 2020-2023 with either 3 or 4 straight P5s

8/19/19 3:40pm

Many assume we'd win more games in a G5 conference. That's not the case for now

8/19/19 2:47pm

So youd rather give up 2 to 3 P5 games a year for a chance to play 1 at the end of the year. Keep in mind BYU never

We can still play that many P5 games

8/19/19 3:28pm

4+ P5 games a year? (we have 6 next year, 7 in 2021) No we couldnt.

8/19/19 3:35pm

We can play enough P5 games to fit our needs

My need is to work towards being a big boy in college football not playing New mexico or Tulane as an "equal"

8/19/19 3:45pm

How have we been doing working towards that?

8/19/19 4:01pm

Upping the money that comes into the program, spending money on coaches and facilities. Stuff that wouldnt have happened

What coaches will more money attract? We aren't getting Nick Saban

Okay, go back to G5, and when you get tired of that come back to the Cougars.

It's a factor for recruits

My evidence is anecdotal
