The Autonomous 5 are going to break away and bringing along just one non-member (ND is a member of the ACC except for FB and hockey), and lo and behold, it's BYU.

The Dude of WV has competition.

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 🙂

I think it’s safe to assume this would be too good to be true

Not surprised you don’t know him. But I would be shocked if you didn’t know who

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.

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

Wow, based on how many have misunderstood Zach...I'm upping it to 8/10.

BlueTooth

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.

WP17

Mine says the next two weeks will be critical.

the amount of heads this post is going over is fascinating

ColonelMustard

Three schools being... Cal, Iowa St and ... Utah???

Rumor is Rutgers, Oregon, and Middle Tennessee

You sound very important and connected Zach. Wow.

Serious or sarcastic... most likely the latter

That would be by far the easiest way for us to break into the top tier

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

SUAVO

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

Traveshamockery

8/2/20 3:39pm

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

SUAVO

I think you proved my point.

Cancel culture is very much a minority opinion. The only way cancel culture

Exactly. You just said it better than me.

Again, this. I know it’s the off-season and we are all desperate for any
