Intervention Needed
Only difference is we get 3 or 4 of those games, sometimes at home. I'll take
that over playing through a crappy scheduled for a *chance* at getting one big bowl game.

Are TNT and Coug the only ones who think Independence has been a mistake?
TNT
7/14/20 1:57pm
Bronco does... he's said multiple times it's unstable.
Coug
7/14/20 1:58pm
And Holmoe said it wasn't sustainable
TNT
7/14/20 1:59pm
Brett McMurphy has said it's unsustainable... and will prevent BYU from ever reaching it's goals.
Coug
7/14/20 2:02pm
He said it was unsustainable, which is different from a mistake
Gustav

I don't mind leaving the MWC initially... but keeping this going this long is a blunder...
Coug
7/14/20 2:01pm
We were originally scheduled to host Big Ten, SEC and American schools in Provo

So our program is a glorified exhibition? Who cares what the schedule is when there is nothing gained in the end...
Coug
7/14/20 2:16pm
Neither does any other option, and nobody wants to play the wac 2.0
Lip Gallagher
7/14/20 3:23pm
UCF, Boise State, Memphis, Houston all beg to differ...
Coug
7/14/20 3:28pm
You keep saying that like it's an actual option.
Lip Gallagher
7/14/20 3:30pm
What do they get? NY6 right? Or.....a "glorified exhibition"
rggee
7/15/20 7:11am
I guarantee you that UCF and Boise State wouldn't trade any of their NY6 Bowl games for any of our regular season games

And they still mean absolutely nothing... who honestly cares?

And beating Wyoming does?
ChiTownCougarV2
7/15/20 12:58am
We already have like 6 other Wyoming type games on our schedule... you act like we are only facing P5 teams...
Coug
7/15/20 9:06am
Um no.

Excuse me... at what point have I advocated to be in the MWC? Who is being honest now?
Coug

1) The original post is that going indy (leaving the MWC) was a mistake*, 2) You

Boom.

I think it's a mistake that we have tried to entertain Independence for so long...
Coug
7/15/20 12:43pm
So signing onto something unsustainable is to be encouraged? I agree and said so
mrphotogenic
7/14/20 2:43pm
Lol he didn't think it was a mistake. He thinks it's not a really longterm

We were a better football program with less money and less TV options than we are now with more of both.
Coug
7/14/20 2:04pm
And how specifically would being in the MWC fix that?
Gustav
7/14/20 2:09pm
Winning attracts.
TheLoneCougar
7/14/20 2:25pm
I think there is a fair counter that we are getting who we typically get - and coaching has as much to do with it as
Bob Vance
7/14/20 2:35pm
I don't believe a marginal increase in wins, which would be over mediocre
Gustav
7/14/20 2:38pm
14 G5 teams had a better recruiting ranking than we did...
Coug
7/14/20 2:46pm
How many have an equivalent to the HCO?
Gustav
7/14/20 2:48pm
Memphis, UCF and Boise are constantly winning and recruiting better than us... winning will increase our recruiting...
Coug
7/14/20 2:53pm
UMass and Connecticut are about 8 spots ahead of us in the Scout recruiting
Stalwartbob
7/15/20 10:51am
Marginal increases in wins?

Less people died of cancer in the 1700s. Let’s use that medical technology.

We were a better program than the other MWC teams.

Recruiting class avg has gone from 50's to 70's, which is major.

That makes 3 of us. Plus Jason Buck. Independence: the mistake that keeps on
Forzaitalia

As opposed to staying in the MWC?
ManicBlue
7/14/20 2:10pm
No. AAC
TNT
7/14/20 2:22pm
Which would have been worse than the MWC IMO.
ManicBlue
7/14/20 2:39pm
Ugh
TNT
7/14/20 2:54pm
I should have added ...
ManicBlue

That would have driven expenses through the roof.

Yes. Thank goodness you two aren't running BYU sports.

Nope. Have never supported it. I believe there’s is plenty of evidence

We’ve had some serious missed opportunities that had the ball

GatorCoug
7/14/20 9:48pm
I think it was the right decision at the time. But should have been abandoned
JarJarBeeps
7/14/20 2:33pm
and you have a better alternative right now? I'd love to hear it.
ManicBlue
7/14/20 2:40pm
Boise State's program rose the exact same way BYU's did. Nice and shiny records
Doogal McCougar

Don’t forget Bronco said said it’s unsustainable like a bajillion times.

It’s like you’re not even a student of my posts. Or my sig line.

It was a mistake to go independent, and it would be a mistake to go back to G5.
Ham
7/14/20 4:21pm
There are others who agree with you. I like independence over MWC or AAC.
kiyoshige
7/14/20 4:29pm
Yes
Snipe

No. I think it was a mistake as well.

Independence has been a cluster from Day One. I love BYU. I hate independence.
TrueBlue67
7/14/20 8:43pm
Yes by far the best thing, I got tired or beating Wyoming.
Beetdiggercoug
7/14/20 9:42pm
Nope. Maybe initially made sense but now it's a death sentence

Knee jerk reaction and mistake out of the chute.

When TCU and Utah left BYU held all the cards, they could have negotiated then

Why are you watching games so late? Most of our games last year were broadcast

It could be an interesting experiment for the 2020 season
Doogal McCougar

I tend to agree with you, but wouldn't do it at the cost of joining a G5 conference.

What would you have done, stay in MWC with Hair?

Independence has been good, but aggressive scheduling is a mistake
Hill4Heisman

I would get any and all P5 games that we can get in October and November
Doogal McCougar
7/15/20 2:21pm
Exactly. Our current front-loaded schedules are also hurting us tremendously.
