Is going to move the needle on BYU recruiting as obvious when we left the mwc to go Indy our recruiting didn’t improve at all, it’s static but losses will definitely hurt matters

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

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

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

Would you work without a performance review?

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?

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

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

Resurgens

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
