Yet another story with quotes that don't really mean anything. Somebody has to want you.
BYU's Mendenhall: Power 5-conference inclusion 'has to happen'
It was almost five years ago that BYU announced the decision to leave the Mountain West Conference in all sports and forge a new path as an FBS football independent. According to head football coach Bronco Mendenhall, it was the correct decision, but may not be the long-term solution to the growing disparity between FBS haves and have-nots.
In a one-on-one interview I conducted with Mendenhall last week, the coach talked at length about BYU's current standing in the college football landscape and his projections for the future. His comments follow by almost two months and echo remarks from AD Tom Holmoe, who said in late February that "it's our intention that we would be playing in what they would commonly call a 'Power 5' conference sometime in the near future...I think I've been open enough to say that we're not in that league. To try to compete in every aspect at that level, without having that (financial) support, is hard. I don't think we can do it indefinitely."
