    * -- so long as BYU is one of the western schools BSU prez Kustra wants to form a western conference of the Big East. If there is another school out there that Kustra advocates for first, I would consider it damn near treasonous on BSU's end.

    Calling my shot now. Just wanted to get that out there.

    But we don't want to be in the BE.

      Even one with Boise, AFA and two in Texas? Schedule right, and you get 8-9 games annually in the Mountain/Pacific TZs. Who could be against that?

      It ain't the most ideal landing spot, but I gotta think it's better than being Indy. Isn't it?

        Yes it is.. But we want Big 12 and hoping.. We get in there.. I was way against BE but I am OK if they join for 2 years and go back to Indy if things fall apart... I seems that is where we are destined to be anyway. So what does it hurt... This stringing us along Big 12 crap is beyond old...

              I'm just curious here, what makes independence better than the Big East besides MAYBE more games (which could be negotiable with the Big East) on ESPN with independence? Just simply asking.

                  Ha. Nice job not answering the question, I don't want to hear the "you're a Ute fan who doesn't know what he's talking about" argument either. Nice job trying to make a comeback with your stupid cliche's.

                      Why does everyone think BYU can just go back to Indy after a couple of years? Maybe it's possible, but I think it would be extremely difficult. Assuming they'd even be able to get another contract with ESPN. Suppose, for instance, ESPN starts televising a lot of Big East (West Division) games. Would that maybe give them the western presence that they were trying to maintain with BYU?

                      If you're going to advocate for BYU to join the Big East(West), then you've got to assume it's permanent.
                      If we disagree on something, it's because you're wrong.

                        No changes are permanent, but change is.

                          Plus, how good is that conference going to look when UConn jumps to the ACC, and Louisville and Cincinnati (assuming no BYU) go to the Big 12?

                            Same question I keep asking in my head. Just wander in and out of independence like it is some god given right.

                              1. Easier access into BCS games (Which Bronco has wanted in his interviews.)
                              2. A bit more regional with a West Division
                              3. More opportunities to go to bowl games besides one = more to play for in November. (Also, right now the Big East bowl games have A LOT bigger payouts than what the Armed Forces Bowl, Poinsettia, and San Francisco Bowl games do.)
                              4. Better November schedule = more to play for in November.

                              Also, what's the TV revenue numbers for the Big East as well? BYU makes like 7.5-8 million right now in TV revenue with ESPN?

                              If BYU goes back to Indy, it would be due to the fact that the Big East loses it's AQ bid, without the AQ bid, I don't think the conference will on ESPN near as much either.

                              Lastly, as a BYU fan, do you want BCS access or not? Do you think your chances of being in the BCS are a lot better in the Big East than as an Indy? I certianly do. You only have to beat out 5 other teams in the Big East, and win the championship game. I think there's better chance of that than being an at-large like what BYU does as an Indy.
