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

The stated goals of BYU football independence are and have been: exposure and fan access.

If BYU plays in the MWC, our exposure and fan access take a major hit.

The expanded AAC (+Boise & SDSU) would give BYU football exposure (ESPN TV deal, national conference, rankings opportunities, etc.) and fan access (national conference, with games from California to Texas to Florida to Pennsylvania), along with legit access to the expanded playoff.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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