Questions about Indy v G5 conference membership. Buddy at church brought up the
BYU being Indy rather than in a G5 like back in the Mountain West. He's an OU and Wyoming fan, and a very nice dude. While we agreed there's no question about Indy v B12, he thought that Boise and Wyoming had a better deal than BYU with regards to NY6 access and keeping money.

*This was a rushed conversation that ended too soon and I expect him to continue with me - I was caught off guard so I want to make sure I know the truth and with regards to both these things. I reminded him that we went Indy before the NY6/playoff structure so I'd double check that, but that from a money standpoint it still made more sense to be Indy for BYU.

So, under the current structure, do we have easier access to NY6 bowls than BSU (or any other G5)? He said the MWC champ is an automatic to the NY6, but I said it's the highest ranked G5 champ who gets an NY6 (Cincy last year and Memphis the year before).

Also do MWC teams, particularly BSU, get to keep more money if they get bowls? I know one reason the MWC sucked is because we always had bowl games and had to share our bowl money with cellar dwellers like UNLV and UNM. My buddy seems to think BSU gets to keep all their money from bowls - did the MWC change their money allocation?
