Staying in the MWC is not a gamble. Folks will flock to a contender in the MWC. A lot of moaning about TV, recognition, etc., but they will flock to follow the team because we are winning and contending for championships. We will always fall back on, we aren't with the big boys because we are honorable and will be happy with winning in the MWC. Sometimes I fear people overestimate the loyalty and devotion of the BYU fan. They think they are like members and their loyalty to the church. Big differences. Members will pay tithing, budgets, etc. for spiritulity 1st when it comes to the church. Loyalty and devotion to BYU athletics financially is directly related to winning. |

Jay Santos has worked out a plausible scenario for beign independent in terms of scheduling...(I think).
USU and Utah would always play us. |

Well TV would broadcast the Utah game and will almost always ignore the USU game.

I"m not sure if this is plausible, but it's an idea (jay santos):

All that changes of course if we are winning. Those schools, especially UNLV know they could put butts in their stadiums. However, if say we go 7-5 this year and 8-4 next, you will have a pretty good fall off in BYU fan support. Everybody is riding a high. BYU is out collecting money right and left off of the enthusiasm. They even have spots with Bronco asking for money for the general fund. They better keep winning. That is what brings in the bucks. |

My main point and I think the admin. realizes this, be careful in what you plan to consider the BYU fan base is about wins. I think in the mid nineties the admin. lost site of that and thought it was about BYU. |
