If your argument is you don’t care about money?

POLL: Which is more likely to "magically solve our problems?"

I give option 1 a 5% chance and option 2 a 1% chance. So coaching I guess.

I was talking more about the odds they "Magically solve our problems"

jrob30

10/2/19 11:05am

Ah, well. Yeah, I'm with you there.

5% chance that changing Sitake will solve our problems?

No, I'm just not sure the problems are solvable.

I agree... I think our problems run much deeper than just Sitake...

Returning to the MWC would be like drinking anti-freeze. It might taste sweet but it'll kill ya

Posts like this are going to get me suspended because I start off my subject with a cuss word...

G5 makes about a 1/4 of what a bottom P5 makes. BYU would lose money going back to MWC.

IceBlueCoug

10/2/19 11:54am

Most of BYU's money right now comes from donations and sponsors...

Coug

10/2/19 11:59am

We arent making any less on media than we would in G5?

JohnnyComeLately

G5 may not die out but they'll end up like DII. They'll have their own league and the product will continue to fall

IceBlueCoug

10/2/19 12:09pm

And guess who will be going to that league as an Independent...

Coug

We get 60K fans to home games and get on ABC and ESPN

boscatar

We have a big fan base that supports the program and it's nearly entirely based on church membership...

Coug

I dont really buy the "We would recruit better being in the MWC than Independent" argument

JohnnyComeLately

10/2/19 1:56pm

For one we were recruiting better in the MWC than we have as an Independent...

No glory comes from a MWC championship ring. Especially when your friend has a chance to win a PAC12 ring

IceBlueCoug

10/2/19 2:09pm

And yet USU, who by the way lives in the same state as that P5 friend, is doing better than us

Coug

10/2/19 2:27pm

USU doesn't have better athletes, they are just getting more out of their athletes than BYU is right now.

IceBlueCoug

10/2/19 2:32pm

I promise you that USU would have beaten Utah 1 or 2 times the last 3 seasons had they played...

Coug

10/2/19 2:37pm

Ok...yeah.....no

IceBlueCoug

10/2/19 2:43pm

Its 2019 though. Not 2009.

JohnnyComeLately

10/2/19 2:15pm

We don't lose money and honestly I don't care if we do at this point...

It's a big stage bowl... money obviously matters... but we aren't making that much more than G5's...

Coug

10/2/19 2:49pm

Ok so you think the extra power 5 games we are currently scheduling and the extra money we are making dont matter?

JohnnyComeLately

10/2/19 3:02pm

Yes, I'd trade any P5 game we have for a shot at a NY6 Bowl game...

Coug

10/2/19 3:27pm

Sounds good. That logic is a head scratcher for me.

JohnnyComeLately

10/2/19 4:24pm

A *shot* at the NY6 Bowl? How often would we have that shot?

boscatar

10/2/19 4:57pm

I'm sorry I seriously laugh at your "Plus, we trade away the respect earned as a P5 peer institution"... LOL

Coug

10/2/19 5:14pm

It's become the equivalent of the Super Bowl for the little guy

boscatar

My solution: join the AAC in 2025, *after* the AAC spurns the G5 label

boscatar

10/2/19 1:59pm

The AAC isn't going to go to P5...

Coug

10/2/19 2:08pm

You need a power move. "Group of Five" is an actual defined contract term

boscatar

10/2/19 2:21pm

If we were to join a G5 conference right now, I'd vote 10 out of 10 times for the AAC...

Coug

10/2/19 2:38pm

Neither
