The college football landscape has changed but I don't see any reason not to go back to what worked before especially if it means that BYU could be able to compete for national championships.

BYU recruiting has tanked in the last 10 years as an Independent

You out yourself as a Ute when you make comments like this.

That's just factual - BYUs recruiting rank has gone WAY down in the last decade

krindorr

Team rankings are a horrible way to look at recruiting for teams outside the top

You keep telling me I'm wrong, but keep providing zero evidence to back that up

As long as we have the honor code we will never recruit National

There is a type of national player that would choose a place like BYU..

What better place to prepare for the NFL?

That pitch will land us top LDS recruits, supposedly.

BYU doesnt stat relevant or respected in indy if we dont take an opportunity

If you honestly think that BYU stands a better chance of winning a NC as an Independent...

Their chances of winning a title are probably actually pretty similar in

Third...and most important of all, BYU needs to recruit a whole heck of a lot

And this isn't happening as a member of the AAC or MWC.

SLIVER

You're chances of getting into the playoffs as a member of the AAC increase significantly...

So your dream season for BYU is breezing through a G5 schedule and getting

SLIVER

And your dream season is to play games that virtually mean nothing... get left out and play in the Independence Bowl?

What's your realistic dream season for BYU football?

BYU's recruiting tanked when they went Independent....

krindorr

No, it didn't, at all.

bluescholar

6/11/21 1:54pm

Yes, it did. Data included

There is so much more to recruiting than looking at team rankings. If you don't

If you're using draft picks as evidence, BYU produced more in MWC days...

14 of those 22 were recruited in the 90's, so unless you're ignoring that I said

I do agree Kalani is better than Bronco

krindorr

6/11/21 4:19pm

Yep, which is mostly Bronco having a hard time getting non-Crowton recruits

I don't know that we're in total disagreement

Let’s get real. BYU is not winning a national championship. Getting the “6th”

So nice that we can just join a P5 whenever we want!

We want exposure and fan access; the expanded AAC gets us that...not the MWC
