Yep, and no Conference as a whole will go from G5 to P5. I think there will be

a break from the NCAA in the relatively near future. I think the idea is to position ourselves the best we can to be invited to go with the P5 conferences. Truth be told, if the university presidents ever start talking about this, the Pres of Utah better be sure to insist BYU be included.

Fact #1: No matter what mental gymnastics you can come up with, a conference

BlueVU

1/23/20 11:08am

Fact#3: AAC would put us in the running for a New Years 6 bowl every year.

zerigke

1/23/20 11:10am

If BYU was ranked higher at the end of the season than any other G5, would we

1/23/20 11:11am

Yes

1/23/20 11:13am

Uh yes. There is no question. This board doesnt understand how Ny6 works.

Klompus

1/23/20 1:03pm

Highest-ranked G5 champ is guaranteed a NY6 spot. BYU only eligible for at-large

1/23/20 3:22pm

they have to be the champ of a G5?

1/27/20 10:18am

Fact#4: That would be the absolute ceiling

Sea Chicken

1/23/20 11:12am

As it is for 90% of programs, including Utah.

1/23/20 11:13am

Utah literally came within one game of being in the playoff.

LittleTex

1/23/20 1:51pm

That’s debatable. I think Oklahoma jumps them.

1/23/20 3:26pm

Uh, OU would’ve jumped them. No doubt.

1/24/20 11:20am

When was the last time you watched BYU football? 80s? I have bad news for you...

Klompus

1/23/20 1:03pm

Which is a higher ceiling than we currently have!

1/23/20 3:20pm

Another fact - BYU doesn’t currently have NY6 access.

1/23/20 11:12am

How often would we be good enough to be the NY6 participant?

che flaco

1/23/20 11:14am

Just think the AAC would kick the P6 campaign into overdrive with BSU/BYU/AF.

1/23/20 11:16am

What would have to happen for a new power conference to be approved?

zerigke

1/23/20 11:18am

Good question.

1/23/20 11:19am

Easy answer

LiveCoug

1/23/20 11:25am

Ha

1/23/20 11:30am

There is no approval process.

Everyman

1/23/20 11:52am

So if 64 schools voiced opposition the other 1100 would follow?

StalwartBraveTrue

1/23/20 12:31pm

The P5 control CFP and split approximately 80% of the net revenue

Everyman

1/23/20 1:30pm

So allowing another conference to be autonomous

StalwartBraveTrue

1/23/20 3:45pm

Edit. I erroneously inserted the number of NCAA members.

Everyman

1/23/20 1:32pm

Which would mean absolutely nothing to the P5 conferences.

che flaco

1/23/20 11:20am

Aren't we G5 now? Just because some conferences made a rule we are P5

ReggaeCoug

1/23/20 11:39am

Not until the program improves quite a bit.

mudpupper

1/23/20 11:14am

it's happened one time in the last 30 years. once.

Tangotongo

1/23/20 12:15pm

I am tired of hearing this about a team that lost to Toledo, South Florida, SDSU

pappabear246

1/23/20 7:07pm

This 1000 times.

StalwartBraveTrue

1/23/20 7:17pm

Part of it is there is nothing to play for with Independence

zerigke

1/23/20 8:27pm

I disagree. I believe if we had only lost one game this year we would have

pappabear246

1/23/20 8:50pm

I agree that 5 losses would equal the same bowl.

zerigke

1/23/20 9:04pm

I guess I am saying lets field a team that can only lose 2 or 3 games

pappabear246

1/24/20 6:47am

Fact #2 - BYU isn’t getting that P5 status anytime soon....

1/23/20 11:11am

Fact #5 - modern sweet corn is the product of nuclear weapons testing in the late 1940s

cheezedawg

1/23/20 11:14am

I REALLY hope this is true!

1/23/20 11:19am

I am pleased to report that it is true.

cheezedawg

1/23/20 12:18pm

Didn't the Big East technically get downgraded resulting in P5?

P-Boy Squad

1/23/20 11:12am

Only after all of its marquee programs left.

1/23/20 11:16am

I believe you have to lose half your membership. Technically.

AD4

1/23/20 11:13am

I don't think the Big 12 will exist indefinitely. It could but I just don't

rcbyufan

1/23/20 11:14am

It's a possibility.

Everyman

1/23/20 11:22am

P5 is just a construct that was invented. It's not some eternal principle.

1/23/20 11:27am

Big East doesn’t compete in football soooooo...

StalwartBraveTrue

1/23/20 12:34pm

Fact #3: BYU will never be invited to join a P5 conference.

Ham

1/23/20 11:36am

That is not a fact; it’s a fear

2FarGone

1/23/20 11:39am

Sometimes fears are reality.

ReggaeCoug

1/23/20 11:41am

But most times they're irrational myths

2FarGone

1/23/20 12:04pm

You think it's an "irrational myth" that we won't be invited to P5?

ReggaeCoug

1/23/20 1:38pm

Yes, we didn't get in 2016 because no non-P5 team moved the financial needle . . . other than BYU

2FarGone

1/23/20 1:57pm

Not facts. Three counter examples: Southwest conference, Big East and Ivy League

TomPetty

1/23/20 11:55am

None of aforementioned conferences were ever called P5

StalwartBraveTrue

1/23/20 12:46pm

Fact 2 is about conferences not teams

TomPetty

1/23/20 1:00pm

Correct. Ceasing to exist was not included in his fact. Probably implied.

StalwartBraveTrue

1/23/20 1:09pm

The Big East is the most interesting case for the following reasons

TomPetty

Fact 2 is about conferences not teams.

StalwartBraveTrue

Link to the story please?

You mean the story of when they went undefeated for two straight seasons and

StalwartBraveTrue

1/25/20 10:35am

Fact #3: A P5 conference will never admit us as a member b/c of gender beliefs

1/23/20 11:59am

Sadly, I believe this to be 100% true.

zerigke

1/23/20 12:04pm

...among other things.

Ham

1/23/20 12:06pm

Again, see my post above about "fears" and "irrational myths"

2FarGone

1/23/20 12:20pm

Use any excuse you want for 2016, but in 2020, no way will a P5 conference

Traveshamockery

1/23/20 1:53pm

Boardname checks out 😉

1/23/20 1:56pm

Depends on other factors

Yep, and no Conference as a whole will go from G5 to P5. I think there will be

ImuaKahuku

1/23/20 2:10pm

Break from the NCAA? What would that look like?

zerigke

1/23/20 2:16pm

It would be like the NAIA except it would be at least 64 of the P5s, basically

ImuaKahuku

1/24/20 5:51am

The power conferences have autonomy.

Everyman

1/23/20 2:23pm

It has come close already. Pay to players etc almost cost the NCAA those
