being peer school than Utah when it comes to recruiting. That is confirmed year after year by the recruiting rankings. Utah already pulls rank by virtue of being in a P5 staying independent won't change that.

Hoping the Boise State drama could lead to BSU/BYU going to the AAC.

Wouldn't that make a 13 team conference? Odd number. It would help to have one

I have to think Air Force would be the best option for that

True, bet Air Force would jump at it.

Or BYU/Boise to the Big XII. Hey, one can dream!!!

LOL at the two thumbs down.

The Yewts would love for BYU to drop down to a G5. They would be the main team

What part of the PAC-12 is a terrible football conference don’t you get?

RockyTopCougar

1/23/20 10:50am

That is completely irrelevant to this discussion.

BYUtka

1/23/20 10:51am

Uh no it isn’t. PAC-12 is losing money.

RockyTopCougar

1/23/20 10:56am

And... How is that relevant at all to BYU, G5 or BSU?

BYUtka

1/23/20 10:59am

Problem is that even if it's a better football conference than the P12,

What part of the Pac 12 being a P5 conference and its football programs

(Eye roll) their TV contract is horrendous for P5.

RockyTopCougar

1/23/20 11:09am

And... That is irrelevant to G5 or P5 status. It has zero relevance to this.

BYUtka

1/23/20 11:21am

Maybe to you. Not to me.

RockyTopCougar

1/23/20 11:32am

Not me, to the reality of the football world, NCAA, bowls, etc...

The Utes don't care. Independence is just as bad as G5 to everyone not wearing

I dont agree with this. Being independent is not necessarily being G5 level.

Travel would be terrible, and it doesn't put us in a better position to go P5.

BYUtka

1/23/20 10:48am

Disagree completely. PAC-12 has been garbage the past few years.

RockyTopCougar

1/23/20 10:50am

Sadly that has no impact or bearing on P5 invites.

BYUtka

1/23/20 10:51am

BYU isn't going P5 anyways. Who's calling?

mudpupper

1/23/20 10:55am

Ok BYU fans that prefer independence and no NY6 access....

RockyTopCougar

1/23/20 10:48am

I mean. . . again?

CosmoK

1/23/20 10:50am

If we had the record to justify a NY6 bowl, we would be in an NY 6 bowl.

BYUtka

1/23/20 10:53am

Uh no not without NY6 access.

RockyTopCougar

1/23/20 10:55am

Hopefully we get the opportunity to see who is right soon.

BYUtka

1/23/20 11:01am

We can't be UCF and we are worried about NY6 access
