We will agree to disagree. Sure, it's great to play big-name schools, but the only way we make the playoffs is with an undefeated season, which will always be extremely unlikely. Most of you will disagree, but I'm entitled to my opinion and you are entitled to yours. We will all continue to maintain we are right regardless of how much we discuss this.Originally posted by cowboy View Post
EDIT: as an aside, I learned that BYU actually loses money on the bowl game. They pay to bring 350 people there, and are required to buy a certain number of tickets to re-sell. They rarely sell enough tickets to pay the expenses.[/QUOTE]
I don't see any reason to rejoin a non-P5 league, not at the current time. Win the MWC Title? Whoopee.
Join any P5 conference? Yes.
But over time BYU may continue to play interesting intersectional games even later in the year. Going to a minor bowl is not fun, but until BYU earns the right for NY6 or CF Playoff it doesn't really matter, as all others are really minor bowl games now. If BYU plays a P5 level schedule and goes undefeated or possibly only loses 1 game, then it can be in the mix. I'm okay with that.
But playing Wyoming every year just because they hate us? Huh?"Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."

Topper, are you unconscious of the irony here? Utah has been brow beaten into playing BYU because BYU hates us.Originally posted by Topper View PostWhen a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.

BYU wants to play Utah because they are in-state neighbors, it costs little to travel to either school, there is a history, Utah is more than competitive and a part of a P5 conference. Some may hate Utah but that is not a reason I want to see BYU play Utah. In fact, I don't want to play any school out of hate. I want to play them if it is (a) convenient and potentially beneficial or (b) potentially beneficial and capable of producing exposure. Additionally both schools stand to profit financially from their encounters.Originally posted by SeattleUte View Post
There is no irony at all.
Wyoming on the other had provides no exposure, the fans hate BYU and is not convenient to travel to. BYU does not stand to profit from playing Wyoming. BYU lost money on last night's bowl game."Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."

Lol. So spineless. Stand up for yourselves, you're a P5 school now! Sure we'd still hate you, but would be nice to at least respect you.Originally posted by SeattleUte View PostComment

There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach FinstockComment
