Way OT: Could We Go Independent?

Postby StallionsModelT » Wed Aug 18, 2010 10:06 am

Just curious as BYU seems to be headed that way. Could we pull it off?
Back off Warchild seriously.

No. We are still happy to be riding the coattails of others in the conference. They need us and we need them kind of thing. If you go independent you better have the fan support and dollars and branding to attract tv dollars and bowl games as a seperate entity. I really don't understand why Utah was a bigger attraction to the Pac 10 than BYU. BYU is stil top dawg in Utah.

No, our attendance is too low. We travel poorly. If we were independent material the Big XII would have added us in a heartbeat.
UNC better keep that Ram away from Peruna

I'd delete this thread, would hate to see you lose any credibility over it.
