Like the current pandemic. Actions were taken to avoid a large loss. TCU and Utah getting invited to P5 conferences. MWC messing with BYU and BYU TV. This was suppose to be a stop gap measure to help us get into a p5 conference and get us better games. We have gotten more p5 games but at a large cost. Destructive early season losses with injuries. No chances at getting big bowl games. No conference affiliation. Independence is like being on the island of misfit toys. don't tell me about ND. They have an affiliation with the ACC. And they can write their ticket to any conference they want. No one is asking BYU to Join. And if they did they would have the MOB from the far left to stop them.
