My main concern is stepping back

Especially at this point. We are seen as a level above G5 and this would be seen as a step backwards. High risk, low reward move.

If G5 gets guaranteed access to Playoff, BYU MUST join a conference.

In indy we lose all relevance with new playoff. We're already seen as a G5 by

FieroCoug

6/11/21 11:46am

Yep. Indy makes no sense if we have real access to playoff in the AAC. BYU will

Moops

If BYU wants to be a force and not a farce it MUST NOT join a G5 conference

DeekLyfter

6/11/21 11:50am

Why? We are already a farce. Last year was the first year we were a force

FieroCoug

6/11/21 11:53am

Have you been a BYU fan long?

Moops

6/11/21 11:55am

Recruiting suffered under Bronco as Indy, but our recruiting has gotten better

Actual playoff access is a step forward. BBall would be a HUGE step forward.

Moops

6/11/21 11:58am

Nope.

Do you actually believe BYU would be admitted as an At Large to a playoff?

Moops

6/11/21 11:56am

When in the Indy Era would BYU have won the AAC?

molodyets

6/11/21 12:00pm

I am an AAC fan as I follow Houston. BYU could have won and gone to an NY6 2020

Moops

6/11/21 12:02pm

Exactly. Byu hasn’t been shown they can win with an Indy schedule

cougfanz

6/11/21 12:02pm

Let’s assume they wouldn’t. They still shouldn’t give up independence.

If BYU wants to be the best house cat on the block it should step backward to G5

What does BYU give up to join the AAC? What do they get?

JJCoug

The AAC will give BYU scheduling visibility around the country

BYU Fan

6/11/21 12:43pm

The key question is the crystal ball for the AAC - are they on a sustainable path or is this 2005-2010 MW hoops

molodyets

6/11/21 1:20pm

There will be no guaranteed access to the playoff for any G5 team.

Zastava

6/11/21 12:22pm

Uh, literally every source I've seen rumored says you are wrong.

Moops

6/11/21 12:29pm

My understanding is that the highest ranked G5 conference champ would receive...

Zastava

6/11/21 2:00pm

Ok, then we are on the same page. That said, the AAC has dominated that NY6 bid.

Moops

6/11/21 2:01pm

If Boise and SDSU left the MW it would be as bad of a league as the MAC and CUSA.

molodyets

6/11/21 2:03pm

You are the company you keep. I’d much rather play the USC’s, Stanford’s...

Zastava

6/11/21 2:16pm

So is BYU keeping company with UMass & Liberty or USC & Stanford?

BYU Fan

6/11/21 2:27pm

This is a great question considering we lost to UMASS a couple years ago

FieroCoug

6/11/21 3:17pm

We currently have the freedom to play (or not play) whomever we choose.

Zastava

6/11/21 3:40pm

So wrong. As a Houston fan, I can say, without any question, no Houston fan

Moops

6/11/21 3:43pm

Houston is a terrible school with a pathetic fan base.

Zastava

6/11/21 3:52pm

You are a peach. Its been fun, but I am done chatting.

Moops

6/11/21 3:53pm

Have you ever been to a houston game? Those fans and the experiences

FieroCoug

6/11/21 4:02pm

I’ve been to three Houston/BYU games. I despise that fan base almost...

Zastava

6/11/21 4:33pm

We've got 3 wins over you 🙂

molodyets

6/11/21 4:05pm

I believe Navy deliberately chose the AAC over Independence

BYU Fan

6/11/21 4:06pm

We only kinda get to play who we choose.

FieroCoug

6/11/21 3:45pm

That’s not true. We play Baylor, Washington State, Virginia and USC during...

Zastava

6/11/21 4:29pm

I agree with u... but seasons like last one revealed that the majority of fans

cougfanz

6/11/21 4:16pm

I don't trust the committee to ever let a G5 team get an at large bid.

JJCoug

6/11/21 2:29pm

BYU will very rarely need to worry about it.

Zastava

6/11/21 3:05pm

What fun is it playing the big boys if you have nothing to play for and lose

FieroCoug

6/11/21 3:19pm

If you can’t beat the big boys then you certainly don’t belong in the playoff.

Zastava

6/11/21 3:44pm

Obviously but at least in the AAC you could use a game or two and still

FieroCoug

6/11/21 3:47pm

The chances of the top ranked G5 champion having 2 losses is very slim.

Zastava

6/11/21 4:47pm

An undefeated indy BYU will never make the playoff. That's not as

FieroCoug

6/11/21 4:49pm

There’s no evidence to suggest that. A top 6 or 7 undefeated BYU team...

Zastava

6/11/21 4:54pm

Agreed. Just responding to your comment about taking your chances as an at large

JJCoug

6/11/21 3:20pm

We'd only be losing a couple P5 games a year and we'd have something to play for

FieroCoug

6/11/21 3:21pm

lol. no. we don't "keep" their money, NY6 access, bowl access, schedules,

Moops

6/11/21 2:35pm

I don’t think BYU is P5, but I DO think they are better than most of the AAC.

Zastava

6/11/21 2:49pm

That's ok so dont need people who turn their noses up to people

FieroCoug

6/11/21 4:04pm

I would rather have very little to do with them.
