Conference masks the horrendous problem that is this program

That is part of the problem BYU’s ceiling as Indy was the Indy bronco years

When BYU used to dominate the WAC I wondered what all those 2-4 teams felt like

A lack of a conference isn't the problem

Of all our problems Independence is barely a blip on the radar of trouble.

Softening the schedule would only mean losses against more bad teams.It wouldn't

We had 2 emotionally charged wins vs p5s thank you very much!

Yes, we do. Hopefully someday we can get a real one.

Agreed that goes into as well I don’t think playing a few more p5 big games

franklyvulgar

And losing to more G5 teams would hurt it more. No benfit to joining a G5.

On byu’s best years we are a good to great g5, it’s where we belong sorry

You lose one as Indy and you have nothing left to play for.

Would you work without a performance review?

byu2015

They have a performance review 12 weeks a year regardless of conference

This is a tired argument. I don't want to go G5, but this whole trope about how

Disagree strongly there. Have you played sports?

Resurgens

I have played more sports than anyone I know. Some people are ultra competitive

Ash

10/13/19 10:07pm

Agree to disagree I guess. If BYU needs a MWC championship to motivate them,

Resurgens

10/14/19 9:24pm

Unfortunately there are still a lot of athletes that are externally motivated

Coug Man in Florida

Exactly. It's naive to assume an entire team's motivation.

This logic is insane. We can't tell if we are improving because we play random

Following a conference race is fun.

The only benefit I see to joining a G5 is if BYU dominates the conference for
