So wrong. In which bowl game did the MWC champ from last season play?
San Jose State was the conference champion and for the record they played Ball State in the ever so prestigious Arizona Bowl. That lucrative bowl game pays out $350,000. The bowl game BYU played in last year, the Boca Raton Bowl game, pays out $900,000.
Oh, you want to talk another conference? The conference USA champ, Marshall, played in the Camellia bowl with a payout of a whopping $300,000. Again, no thanks.
The sunbelt conference champ, Coastal Carolina (the same team that beat us) had the great honor of playing in the FBC Mortgage Cure bowl which has a payout of $570,000.
The only non P5 team to play in a prestigious bowl was Cincinnati, and they played in the Peach Bowl. And had BYU been in a G5 conference, there's no way we would have been selected for that bowl game over Cincy.
This is such a tired and false argument that people keep making about the need to go to a G5 conference to give us access to better bowl games. Can we let this die?

You cannot. No G5 team has ever played more than 3 P5 teams in a season. And 3 P5 games have only happened a few times

And it took us a while to get there but the independence schedules are there now and on a clear upward trajectory. They

No. It’s up to the other teams’ ADs and their open dates. It’s just not feasible for a G5 team to a) create that much
