per CBS:
BYU athletic director Tom Holmoe had no shortage of news to deliver at a campus event Tuesday, according to the Deseret News, as he touched on the topics of the team's Miami Beach Bowl brawl discipline, its unscheduled future home games vs. Notre Dame, its relationships with the Pac-12 and ESPN, and more.
But Holmoe's most eyebrow-raising comments came in regards to BYU's future as an independent football program -- or, if the Cougars have their way, their future as something else.
"It's our intention that we would be playing in what they commonly call a 'Power 5' conference sometime in the near future," Holmoe said, per the Desert News. "We're trying to put together games ... that would give us a position to better ourselves, and play in the biggest games that we can, meaning that would be conference championships and, the New Year's Day games and [the College Football Playoff].”
