        Tell me where I have this wrong.

        BYU most likely was approached before TCU about joining, but they couldnt get through their hangups, or the BOT didnt act quick enough because they were unsure of the stability of the B12, or they didnt want to piss off the WCC. Big 12 said have it your way we need commitment and went to TCU because they knew they would get an immediate yes and a team that could play in 2012. Interim B12 commissioner says they are set for 2012.

        BYU is still a possibility if Missouri leaves, or if they decide to go to 12. Yet the BOT still hasnt put discussing the B12 invite on their agenda, it isnt quite important enough even though hundreds of donors have either threatened to walk, or expressed a desire to donate more, millions more, if BYU gets in the
        B12.

        Corrections?

          BYU is the spoiled relatively hot chick who is religiously conservative. She likes and expects to be courted in the old fashioned way and is also a bit of a drama queen who craves attention. She requires her suitors to come over and sit in the living room and talk to her overbearing, overprotective and highly conservative father while she gets ready.

          TCU is the surprisingly hot girl that you never noticed when she was rocking no makeup and flannel shirts while living on the wrong side of the tracks after the suitor’s father ran the girl's father out of business in the early 90's. This girl says yes after you passed her a note in gym class.

          BTW - According to 80's teenage romantic comedies TCU gets the guy and even TCU's friend SMU gets in on some action. Sorry just being honest

            Under your scenario BYU is Molly Ringwald from The Breakfast Club and TCU is Molly Ringwald from Pretty in Pink. In both cases, yuck.
            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.”

              TCU and SMU hate each others' guts.

                  I just want to be clear that my jig that I danced earlier in this thread was sarcastic. Following planes is an act of desperation.

                        Don't get all judgmental on the rest of us.

                          Of course it is. But I never claimed not to be desperate.

                            I guess you left me jigging in hope all by myself ala George McFly at the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance. Real cool, NMD. Real cool.

                              I will still jig with you, but mine will be a kind of cool, disaffected jig, and no one will quite know whether mine is genuine or ironic and awesome.

                                Would these guys be flying private planes anyway? I have no idea, but that just seems excessive.
