same and suffer, or you change with the times. When Utah and TCU left, things changed drastically for BYU.
They could have stayed and be relegated to a pure g5, or try to distance themselves a bit from the g5 to stay closer to the p5s.
I don't think anyone is going to call it a success, but compared to staying in the MWC, I think the decision makers with all of the data and knowledge, would make the same decision again.
The reason it hasn't been successful has been losing to G5 teams.
