BYU going independent?

[93henfan]

Not to sound like an arrogant east coast dickhead, but nobody on the east coast gives a flying fuck about Brigham Young University. I can't speak for out there, but does anyone outside of say Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, or Nevada give a shit about BYU either? To even mention themselves is in the same sentence as Notre Dame is a laughable thing for BYU to do.

Only the Mormons on the East Coast

What's that? 15 or 20 people? Didn't their founder tell 'em to GTF outta here?

Oh I know, they have a pretty fancy temple in DC and whatnot, but they can't be much more than a percent of a percent in this part of the country. Hardly anything that would register on the Nielsen ratings.

No, not that much. I agree, they are delusional about their appeal outside of the Interior West

So, roughly 600K on the whole east coast, or about a fifth of one percent of the population of the US. Like I said, they are not really even a blip on the radar in this part of the country.

Not to sound like an arrogant east coast dickhead, but nobody on the east coast gives a flying fuck about Brigham Young University. I can't speak for out there, but does anyone outside of say Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, or Nevada give a shit about BYU either? To even mention themselves is in the same sentence as Notre Dame is a laughable thing for BYU to do.

Same has been said about West Coast FCS football for years

[Malcolm Reynolds]

I like Independents.

This is all wrong. left side is number of doors they knocked on for new members. The right, actual members
