    I'm impressed with the lengths the big 12 will go through to avoid adding BYU.

      So they're just gonna keep accepting applications until every school who wants to apply can apply? WTF. Unless there's an application fee they are getting to hear out UNLV, they ought to not waste everybody's time with this idiotic charade.

        I have expansion fatigue. Arkansas State and Tulane are just tough to beat.

          I wonder why Rice would condescend to the Big 12.

            You will find you got that backwards, SU, and the answer will be, it won't.
            Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

            For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

            Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

              Rice ought to be the Big 12's first choice.

                    I can't believe that the P12 took Utah in favor of Cal Tech. Or USD. Or Scripps.

                      Rice has a DI football program, dummies. It's a dreamboat of an applicant.

                        I really can't believe the league has so many bigots in it that they wouldn't take BYU over Utah. I am not a Utah hater, but really Utah over BYU??

                            UOP in Stockton is ranked higher than Utah, I think they have some D1 programs. They could probably scrap together a football program as good as Rice's in a couple years.
                            Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”
