A trick win over Oklahoma a decade ago? Boise has been utterly dominant against

all competition at every level for over 20 years going all the way back to the Dan Hawkins years.

Don’t get me wrong. I think Boise is one crappy coach away from slipping into mediocrity, and I don’t like their gimmicky blue turf, but they do indeed bring a lot to the table.

San Diego State has not been a historically excellent football program. Football drives these decisions.

Who else has noticed more and more articles are coming to the conclusions...

The AAC, perhaps encouraged by ESPN,

AAC always had to shoot its shot.

Yup. You never make a full court shot you didn’t take.

You underestimate how terrible a draw San Diego St is

there is only one Western team worth looking at BYU, the rest are East and they

This was also true before they added Utah and Colorado

You underestimate the value of P5 membership to any program, and location...

LEDSFW

Oklahoma with 3.9M residents can support two P5s with some leftovers for Tulsa

krindorr

Again, would be true if it were a real metric. But...

LEDSFW

Ya gotta stop comparing BYU to ND.

But then why doesn't BYU's national fanbase actually watch the games?

The reason to take SDSU is to get CA recruiting. I don’t think it’s enough.

Many who keep bringing up BSU are probably considering actual performance

Y'all are forgetting the most critical criteria

It would be hilarious if the blue field became a negative tie breaker that

LOL. UH...NOT TRUE!

LEDSFW

It’s 2021 - following matters, not media footprint. The age of regional carriage fees for CFB is over

molodyets

Add the best football programs - BSU is better than SDSU

HawkeyeCoug

It’s about the money.

Rocketman

Obviously a lot of people here think Spudaho State and 1 million people...

25 million people in southern California don’t care about SDSU. Attendance

More insults! You're making Lip Gallagher seem like a humble guy.

Backcountry

Gotcha, so SDSU, SJSU, UNLV, CSU, New Mexico all are better options than BYU?

krindorr

Youve got to stop looking at this through a decade old lens

Backcountry

I think cincy is ahead of either Boise or central florida.

Or San Diego

Footprint matters less with cord cutting and more people streaming

icecougar

Wrong! Footprint matters because streaming requires interest. TV is just...

I didn’t say it doesn’t matter, you just made that up…

icecougar

7/31/21 8:50pm

If it's all about media markets, BYU doesn't make the cut

krindorr

7/31/21 11:28pm

I look at just about every one of those schools and wonder if any are all that

Don Carlton

7/31/21 3:42pm

ESPN and BYU's relationship is irrelelvant to BYU's conference decisions

7/31/21 3:43pm

I get it,you want to dust your feet off at ESPN! Pretty short sighted

travelcoug

7/31/21 3:58pm

Where did you get that from my post? I said it is a business relationship with

7/31/21 4:00pm

Boise St's football complex is pretty new/nice & stadium has a little more done

Undefeated

7/31/21 4:06pm

The issue BYU will have is that they are the only Western school I think the B12

7/31/21 4:08pm

Just adding AAC schools would be admitting they are now a G5 conference

slatecoug

7/31/21 6:25pm

You’re right, they should petition for membership in the B10, see how that goes.

7/31/21 7:21pm

LOL, no it doesn't. Do ANY of you guys ever actually try and write...

LEDSFW

7/31/21 7:24pm

I can't believe I have to explain something so obvious

slatecoug

8/1/21 5:37am

Did I advocate for that? No! I have no idea why you posted this.

Maybe you should read your post right above mine.

At least BYU is used to paying its own way. Mid tier P5 schools are going to be

7/31/21 4:22pm

IMO, the media is normalizing BYU to make it more palatable when they are added.

I hope so. HC is gonna be a "huge" obstacle.

I can’t find any links saying Boise doesn’t add value.

Dr MoBYU

It adds value, just not enough to make up what they would be paid

Nat Gas Man

No, not typing Big 12 Expansion News in Google is lazy.

I actually find it more funny that you don't want to post what you found.

football fans are high on Boise St., not university presidents

Like another poster said, BSU plays one P5 a year, wins every 2 or three years.

LEDSFW

Except the facts say different; BYU goes 2/5 and Boise 1/2 yearly against P5

How have they done since Chris Peterson has left Boise?

slatecoug

4/7 Top 25, 5/7 10+ wins, NY6 victory

krindorr

Pretty great. They were very good before CP too.

Blue Cat

For real though, why is it so personal?

Backcountry

You seem to forget they won THREE Fiesta bowls, 06, 14 and 17

8/1/21 8:52pm

In fairness that's as much for to BYU's independence as it is on-field results

krindorr

8/1/21 9:54pm

Most of the great things used here happened under Chris Peterson

4 top 25, 5 10+ wins, NY6 win in the 7 seasons since Peterson left

By your stats they're world beaters. How have they done against winning P5 teams

I wasn't arguing them over BYU; I was arguing them over SDSU
