I am in the camp that says join the AAC. The team needs something to play for

after their first loss. It has become evident that BYU is too taboo for the big leagues and independence is unsustainable.

Start talking with Boise & San Diego state about a package deal. If they can be grouped with other west of the Mississippi schools for most regular season games that would minimize east coast travel

Western division

BYU

Boise

SDSU

Houston

Smu

Tulsa

Tulane

Eastern division

Temple

Navy

Cinci

UCf

USF

East Carolina

Memphis

Play your 6 conference opponents and 2 East conference teams plus 4 out of conference teams. Unfortunately this would be difficult for our Olympic sports and I doubt Acc would take us for football only Would wcc take Boise and SDSU?

"Independence is unsustainable" are meaningless nonsense words.

That is true of virtually every P5 team. When they lose, they know they aren’t

DirtyWater

As a fan of a P5 team, that’s untrue. With 1 or even 2 losses, your team can

This phrase literally means nothing. I defy anyone to provide a legitimate, meaningful definition

What exactly isn’t sustainable about independence?

So unsustainable that BYU will be playing more games this season than

All largely due to being independent.

If you think independence is unsustainable wait until it look at G5 financials

molodyets

Correct. The finances make it obvious.

Exactly. Bronco's statement was dumb at the time and continues to be dumb.

You don't think that team is playing for anything right now? Weird.

Even without the travel-hassle, I'd still say "No way."

Why does anyone think this scenario is a “real” possibility? Boise and SDSU in

Boise and SDSU could not join WCC. That part not realistic, I agree
