Brad Rock: Jason Buck says BYU independence situation 'rips his heart out'

SALT LAKE CITY — Eight years after BYU launched its grand experiment, not much has changed with either the Cougars or their No. 1 legend/fan/critic Jason Buck.

Both think they know how to get BYU back to national prominence in football.

BYU apparently wants to stay the course as an independent and hope for an invitation from a Power Five conference. Buck wants the Cougars to follow the model of Utah State; i.e., join a solid Group of Five conference. He has said that often, but now he is making a direct comparison to the Team Way Up North.
