At least I'll try.

1. BYU's fan base is retarded. I can prove mathematically that a 9-3 team with great SOS = 10-2 team with good SOS = 11-1 team with bad SOS = 12-0 team with terrible SOS, but BYU fans will never see it that way. They will be more impressed with gaudy record and weak SOS. HFNW is probably correct. Beating up on a bunch of nobodies will probably equate to more donations and more season ticket sales than the same team struggling a little with a great schedule.

2. Holmoe has no vision and no balls. He's not going to lead anybody anywhere.

3. Bronco is running the program, and he wants the easy way out. He knows he'll go 11-1/12-0 in his great years against a crap schedule and 7-5 in his worst years against a crap schedule. He'll have a job until he retires making $1M a year, be the most popular Mormon in the church, and retire with Lavell like status if he schedules Eastern Washington a couple times every year along with Utah State and the patsies of the MWC. And nobody's going to tell him not to do that. See #2.

4. Our TV contract, national recognition, all that, is just going to be left to chance. Nobody has any potency in BYU admin.

I'll try to shut up about going independent or doing something about our crappy conference and schedule and national recognition.

I'd different than the majority of the fanbase. I hate sitting in the stands week after week watching us play somebody nobody cares about that has a 4% chance to beat us. I'm sick of watching every other team in the nation play exciting match ups on national TV and my team playing Wyoming on the MTN. But I guess I'm different that way. The majority of the fanbase is cool with it, even prefers it.
