      You guys can pretend that this is an altruistic wish for BYU, or that you don't want to have to play in Norman and Stillwater, but in reality, you don't want to be that much further down the totem pole in the PAC -1#. I'm not saying I wouldn't be the same way if I were a Utah fan (barf) but don't play us for fools by claiming that's not your real reason.

          Think whatever you want.

          I like where we are right now. I don't want UT and OU in the PAC and I don't believe they are coming over anytime soon.

          I am good with BYU to the Big 12, wouldn't mind seeing Pitt and/or West Virginia join with ya.

              If Texas and Oklahoma left the Big 12, would that conference still be an automatic qualifier?

                        They will be 4-8, but darn that will be a great schedule.

                            Now I know how Ute fans felt after the 2006 and 2007 Holy Wars. Still some time on the clock though ... can't give up completely yet.

                              This just has the feel of a power play. Smells fishy.

                              I still believe.
