Would we recruit better in a BCS conference?

The step down is not so drastic.

So I tend to agree with you which is why I wonder why you want BYU in a BCS conference. Instead of whining about BYU not being recognized then you would whine about BYU losing. Think about how much 2002-2004 sucked. Further, BCS losers don't get recognition either. So it would be double whining which might be a positive, I don't know.

I've heard that Ethyn Malamenaluememealaameala is a non-qualifier. Too bad, as he's a beast against the run and the pass. It's not often a 6'5" 270 lb. kid that runs a 4.4 40 and has a 50" vertical leap comes along.

Then again, even if he was a qualifier, he wouldn't see the field for a few years, as he mentioned that a mission is in his plans and nothing will change his mind about that and he'd most likely redshirt as well. He wouldn't see the field until 2011.
