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.

Ty'Son Williams specifically sited our Big Stage games as a main draw to BYU. We

Well that explains are 70+ recruiting classes and G5’s like Boise that out

Honor Code, Academics...

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

franklyvulgar

10/12/19 8:56pm

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

The landscape of college football is SOOO different now. That wouldn't work for

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

IceCreamButt

Would you work without a performance review?

byu2015

10/12/19 9:11pm

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

IceCreamButt

10/12/19 9:20pm

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

Ash

10/12/19 11:23pm

Disagree strongly there. Have you played sports?

Resurgens

10/13/19 12:00am

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

10/14/19 10:13pm

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

Why join a g5 when you can’t beat them?

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

I think this is the point.

How is that the point? I disagreed with you and you said that's the point? BYU

Here’s the questions that you need to answer to support your hypothesis

How do you know we'd suffer less injuries?

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

Yeah that's why we need to get started now. It will take time.

What’s sad is even if we beat Toledo and USF we go to the same bowl

Stop speaking truth to pro indy guys, they have a hard time accepting it.
