I have talked to multiple VERY powerful and influential people (above coaches) who work for or with some the P5 biggest athletic departments. They believe the 64 schools + ND/BYU will in the “not so distant” future break from the NCAA and form their own conglomerate.

Any school that averages a legit 30k+ should be included

CaliWG

8/2/20 11:38am

30 k isn’t enough. It might have to be 50k

Nat Gas Man

8/2/20 3:00pm

That would only include about 40 programs

CaliWG

8/2/20 3:10pm

I don’t think a school with 30k can have a program break even. Since the schools

If a "conglomerate" is formed, you can be sure BYU will be in their sandbox.

This is a good point. BYU isn't what they were in the 80s and 90s, but

Don’t be fooled. BYU would never have such luck

Sadly, I can believe the 64+ND part, but given our track record I'm expecting us to be left out or screw it up

Sounds like a random CB rumor if you ask me everyone has their special sources

The fact that he used caps to say VERY powerful peaked my curiosity...

I peeked at it but the idea has peaked so it didn't pique my curiosity 🙂

So the fact the P5 just officially cut us out — well, it was only an illusion?

Now seems like a good time to make it happen...chaos is a ladder.

Thank you for sharing what you can. BYU fans need any good news we can get.

Cru Jones

Ignore the haters, thanks for sharing what you know

Unibro

8/2/20 12:15pm

And FTR, this is totally consistent with my source. I can’t add much detail, but

Unibro

8/2/20 12:23pm

We appreciate you being willing to share.

Zach Morris

8/2/20 1:07pm

Same with my source, my source also mentioned that there was one school that really was fighting against BYU

JohnnyComeLately

This lines up with what I’ve been told.

Zach Morris

8/2/20 2:21pm

The only reason I can think of to keep BYU out is in order to keep a recruiting

Are you saying 2 of the power 5 like us 3 conferences don’t? Schools?

franklyvulgar

8/2/20 12:25pm

Took it as just individual schools not whole conferences.

Soupie

8/2/20 12:31pm

Seems unlikely someone would have a pulse on how each P5 feels about BYU

franklyvulgar

8/2/20 12:35pm

Take it or leave it, but my source has indicated the same from his conversations

WP17

8/2/20 1:21pm

Yep. Mine too.

Zach Morris

8/2/20 1:57pm

Mine said we are only days away from it all breaking open.

Mine says the next two weeks will be critical.

It’s complicated. I wish I could say more but it would reveal my source.

8/2/20 2:39pm

You sound very important and connected Zach. Wow.

Serious or sarcastic... most likely the latter

I think people overplay this thought. Yes, there is some of that talk going

I wish this were true. Shame is a powerful deterrent and motivator.

Traveshamockery

I agree, it's a motivator, but it's not even close to the motivator that money
