    SEems pretty obvious. A Big XII school will go after a California kid and give them the line "You saw what the Mormons did on prop 8. Here's your chance to beat up their school for 4 years."
    "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 love Oklahoma and their attitude. Unlike those liberal schools on the west coast, they aren't afraid of bringing someone in who can kick their arses.

        Big XII North schools generally support the idea (mainly because they feel it would help open California up to recruiting ... but that's a whole 'nother story).
        Do the big12 north schools not know that byu is in provo and not in California?

            I think you guys confused them with all that "the Harvard of the West" talk. They think they're picking up Stanford.

              Sorry. I see how that could be taken as a mocking of the Utes. I meant to mock the PAC10, especially the ones that would spur us. I meant no ill will toward the Utes nor their good fans.

                  They're slowly inching closer to the coast.
                  Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                        Am I the only BYU fan who doesn't want to join the Big 12?

                        I'd be all for joining the Pac 10 but the Big 12 just doesn't excite me. Oklahoma and Texas are desirable, but they wouldn't be in the same division. We wouldn't see them play every year. The north south split isn't good.

                        Sorry Babs. Just being honest.

                          This seems to be about as reliable as other expansion rumors.

                          Done deal!

                            You are smart. There's a reason the Big 12 is wanting somebody...anybody...to join the North. Granted, Nebraska's resurging but they don't really have anybody else up there to compete with.
