Yeah, that's a financially viable alternative... ever wonder why there used to be several very good independent programs and now it's only Notre Dame, Army, Navy and Western Kentucky?
None of these teams are fully independent either, just for football. You think BYU can somehow keep one foot in independence for football and one foot in the MWC for all the other sports? Just because you don't like the situation, doesn't mean that your half-baked solution constitutes an improvement. |

My whole argument is and always has been, let's not schedule those type of games in the future. |

I choose uncertain death (independence) over certain death (MWC). I would argue that there is no team in BYU's position, in terms of dwarfing it's other conference members, and not having BCS money available to it. BYU is better off with a bunch of teams that pull in 25k fans for their home games???? Freak, add a few BCS games as a non-conf and just the TV alone would pay for it. |

That works for getting us the type of national recognition Boise State has gotten. It is a church school. That is the best we can hope for until some BCS conf. decides to expand. Believe me, if we have those kind of schedules there will be plenty of support and money for the program. |
