  • BYU makes the (first) cut...

    Big 12 reportedly trims list; Mountain West teams miss the cut

    The Big 12 has corresponded with the 20-plus teams that were wanting to be included if the Power Five conference expands. That list is now down fewer than 10 teams but the list is reportedly not including any Mountain West teams.


    Mark Blaudschun of TMG College Sports ($) says the list includes American schools in Cincinnati, Houston, Connecticut, Memphis, Central Florida, South Florida plus a pair of unnamed AAC schools and then BYU.

    • Good grief this really is The Bachelorette. Complete with unnecessary dramatic pauses.

            "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

                  Yeah, maybe BYU should say the hell with it and go independent.

                    I am inclined to want to go back to the MWC. I would think it would save me money and that is all I care about now.

                      You and SanJuanSun should start an MWC Groundswell thread.

                          I already have my obscession I am dealing with. Perhaps when the elections are over BlueK can move on from obscessing about Trump and take the MWC groundswell on.

                          • Yeah, the Big 12 needs BYU to fill those late game TV spots on ESPN and Fox in the Mtn time zone... Nobody wants to watch the PAC-12 network.

                                They put out an official statement about being cut from the Big 12 expansion list.
