    So if the latest rumor holds true, and BYU is prepared to move all sports to the Big 12 next year if it happens. That'll mean that 3 Conferences (WAC, MWC, and WCC) will be eternally pissed at us with one (PAC-12) that just hates us. I think we've got the entire west covered now... didn't Brigham lead the saints West to get away from the hate?

    And now it looks like we could be going back to Missouri with open arms...

    ...Porter Rockwell has to be rolling in his grave.
    Ok, I actually did laugh out loud.

    The Seattle Utes of the world aren't enough by themselves to make BYU widely hated and therefore hot TV property, so we're having to help them out a little. Maybe we announce next week that we're glad the Big East fell apart or something.
    I think, perhaps, the only person who hates BYU fans more than ute fans hate BYU fans, is Bronco Mendenhall.

      Once again if true BYU needs to pull it's head out of its arse.

      I actually do not believe it to be true and that an agreement is already in place. BYU will take the five year assurance and be happy that they now have a foot in the door.

      To Cecil and Tom: Don't muff it.

        I am not sure if Chip Brown has the best information on BYU... He just mentioned on the radio that BYU makes less than $2M in TV revenue per year as an independent.

          Chip also just tweeted that he's hearing TCU may rejoin the MWC. What a kick in the nuts if true.

            "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

            • I'm breaking my silence to say that Chip Brown is correct on this.

              BYU is stonewalling this deal. If you want this to change, call the Athletic Dept. Email, too.

              This is NUTS

              • But BYU sees the Big 12 situation as simply too volatile right now to forfeit its independence, the source said.

                The source put BYU's chances of joining the Big 12 at "80-20 against."
                I really hope this isn't the case. I think BYU is poised and ready to accept an invite the second one is offered. There is too much to lose by not accepting, and too little to gain by staying independent.

                  Chip's TCU info source is most likely Hair Thompson.

                    wtf?? Can you be more specific? I thought we got past our little self important act we did at first and stepped in line once we got scared we might get left in the dust?

                    • If true and I'm not saying it's not - THIS IS CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!! What are the people down there thinking?

                      I may be small, but I'm slow.

                            Also, will someone just e-mail me once it is actually decided whether BYU is in or out? It would probably be good for me to actually do something at work for the rest of the week besides just sit and refresh this thread.
