Football would or could football have the same success if they followed the same model? Join a conference and play the best you can out of conference.
I don’t think it would work. First I still believe money is a huge factor. MWC/AAC are getting less.
Two there’s no Big Dance in football unless you’re P5. There’s hope BYU can get to the dance. In football there’s no hope.
Three. Getting quality programs to BYU would be even more difficult. Yes you’d get 1 or 2 but the rest would be G5.
I just don’t see G5 route like basketball working.
