            I think it's time for you to post another controversial video.
            Have we been commanded not to call a prophet an insular racist? Link?

                BYU is now wiser. They have tested the market. They will adjust their valuation and start another round.

                    I hope so, but I'm not ready to make that assumption.

                      Missing out on the Big East is not a big deal. AQ is likely over and the Big East TV deal would likely have sucked. We would have been stuck in a far flung version of the MWC.

                      I hope we aren't in love with independence and will be older and wiser during the next shuffle. By then we will have fulfilled our commitment to the WCC and be "free" to join a real conference.

                      Like others have said, winning cures everything. Even late season patsies are meaningful if you win the big games in September and October.

                      If you have seen my other posts you will recognize that I think the ship has actually sailed on BYU football, but part of me still likes to have a little hope.

                        Doesn't sound like a burned bridge to me, if you believe Drew.

                          Yeah I'm sure Boise and Houston are going to be really happy with SDSU instead of BYU, and holding up the announcement of the conference additions for weeks.

                            It'll just be more hilarious ammo for people who are BYU haters.

                            Just watch, people will blame BYU for killing the Big East, just like it was claimed that they killed the WAC.

                              BYU didn't kill the WAC?
