        A positive take on the non-statement from an ESPN writer: "BYU isn't SMU."

            You forgot to remind yourself how grateful you are to be a Utah fan. Go back and edit your post.
            "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

              OK, I'm going to out these guys:

              AD to AD call on Sat/Sun.

              Would you be interested?

              Sounds like a great opportunity. Let me check with our Board.

              Since then, I have no idea what's happened...but it sounds like BYU needs to get this inked up or they'll get aced out, to be candid.

              A&M could easily stay; their statement was crafted as such.

              I know Tom reads this: Tom, I won't call you. I'll write you here: if you don't accept now, Pitt and ND will join, A&M will stay, and we are screwed and in two years, you will be out of a job. BYU fans will never forgive you for this after wandering in the desert for 30 years.

              Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered. Sign the damn deal

                  ESPN's take on the statment.

                  It's carefully worded, but if BYU wanted to explicitly rule out a future in the Big 12, it would do it by now. Clearly, it's receptive to the idea, but don't take this as a "Take us! Take us!" statement, either.

                  BYU isn't SMU.
                  One of the grandest benefits of the enlightenment was the realization that our moral sense must be based on the welfare of living individuals, not on their immortal souls. Honest and passionate folks can strongly disagree regarding spiritual matters, so it's imperative that we not allow such considerations to infringe on the real happiness of real people.

                        Time for someone to teach Jay Drew how to intercept some data packets.

                            BYU has released a statement in regards to speculation about a possible future in the Big 12 (Hey, I've done some of that!).

                            "There is much speculation right now regarding conference affiliation that seems to change by the hour. Commenting on such conjecture is not productive and creates a distraction for our program. BYU is focused on the opportunities ahead. We are excited about our relationship with ESPN as a football independent and our affiliation with the West Coast Conference. The university will have no further comment."

                            Hardly an "unequivocal commitment" to independence, you might say.

                            It's carefully worded, but if BYU wanted to explicitly rule out a future in the Big 12, it would do it by now. Clearly, it's receptive to the idea, but don't take this as a "Take us! Take us!" statement, either.

                            BYU isn't SMU.

                            It's going to be a difficult decision for the program, but ultimately, one it looks like the school is going to entertain.
