Lol at CBer’s claiming points 2, 3 and 5 are not true when there is clear
statistical evidence that they are indeed true.

Is there any good reason to NOT try to join the AAC?

Geography. Memphis. Nuff said.

Agreed, given travel/geography, it would have to be football only

2, 3, and 5 are all false IMO.

Opinions vs Facts; those teams do outdraw us and do get more money

You are wrong about the money. BYU gets more money as an independent. Football

You keep saying the money difference would be much better in the AAC.

That's just it, you are going off of "data" you found on the internet.

You state the AAC just signed a new contract but so did BYU.

Good point. I'm sure BYU will make nice $$$ from the game with AZ in Vegas

Money. The new contract is not 4.5 a year. Being in a conference doesn't make us better positioned for P5

Didn’t Zach Morris hint that it was around 4.5M-5M/yr?

"Inclusion in a G5 conference" No thanks.

2006-2009 was awesome - nationally ranked, conference titles, beating Utah, etc

Well, going to the AAC won't get us any closer to beating Utah again. But, there

Sadly, I'm pretty sure we're not playing for a natty as an independent either
krindorr
5/14/21 5:19pm
And therein lies the key difference.
shoganai
5/14/21 6:03pm
If the goal is a natty, I think BYU has just as good of a shot in the AAC
BYU Fan
5/14/21 6:21pm
I strongly disagree.
shoganai
5/14/21 6:55pm
Absolutely no evidence to support that.
CougarThug

No evidence against it either though really

I believe that recruiting can improve by joining and winning in the AAC
BYU Fan

I doubt that, but I guess we don't really know.

Do we have that chance now? NY6 easier in AAC, playoff a pipe dream either way

If we called Mike Aresco and said we want to be team 12 it would be a done deal in an hour.

Yes. Several.
shoganai

Tons. And 2, 3, and 5 aren't true. 1 doesn't matter. 4 isn't worth sacrificing what we have in independence.
YIsForBrigham
5/14/21 3:00pm
But data says 2, 3, 5 ARE true. Seems we just really don't want to accept that
krindorr
5/14/21 3:28pm
No it doesn’t. Your assumptions are incorrect
YIsForBrigham
5/14/21 3:31pm
OK, I at least have data that I'm looking at; can you tell where I'm wrong?

it's been had out for years. The arguments are old and boring. Your assumptions are wrong. But that's not new. Faulty

So I keep sharing data and you keep stating it's wrong with no justification...

5/14/21 7:27pm
Also because anyone claiming ESPN gives BYU $15M/yr is laughable (SEC gets $20M)
krindorr
5/15/21 7:12am
The SEC was getting ~43 million. ESPN taking over the lone CBS game is giving them a 20mm bump to 60+.
molodyets
5/15/21 9:16am
That's for the conference, not per team. 10yrs/$3B split between 14 teams = $21M
krindorr
5/15/21 9:22am
That is just the contract for the single afternoon game they took from CBS.
molodyets
5/15/21 9:24am
The $45 million was the per team payout and included postseason and bowl bonuses
krindorr
5/15/21 10:22am
You’re misunderstanding. The most recent 21mm deal was just for the the SEC game of the week. That’s it. The entire rest
molodyets
5/15/21 10:52am
Misunderstanding seems to be what he's best at.
DeekLyfter
5/15/21 1:45pm

GeorgeAlbertsgoatie
5/14/21 8:23pm
Nope. Even here you’ve demonstrated bad assumptions.

2 assumes that the reason the viewership is higher because of the AAC not vs those programs specifically.

5/14/21 3:48pm
Thanks, some validity there; I hope it's not true though (for expansion reasons)
krindorr
5/14/21 3:56pm
It's largely a time zone issue.
molodyets
5/14/21 3:59pm
True, & one of the larger issues against Big12 taking BYU (vs those other teams)

“Huge markets” isn’t a great sell for TV money. You need dedicated fans, not warm bodies.

The ONLY reason to join AAC would be if becoming part of P6 were part of it.
