    With how things appear to be going down, my possible explanations for BYU's current position are:

    1. Tom Holmoe has done a masterful job and has assurances from the Big 12 that BYU will be invited once Missouri decides what to do. They will either be invited as #10 in the event that Missouri departs, or as 11/12 with Louisville if Missouri stays.

    2. Our best chance was to come on as #10 with the Missouri situation still unsettled. When TV rights issues bogged down talks, the Big 12 decided to go with TCU instead. Now the Big 12 will stand at 10 for now if Mizzou stays and replace them with Louisville if they leave.

    3. BYU was never a serious candidate for the Big 12 and talks never got past the exploratory stage.

    In spite of SU's insistence, 3 seems the least likely to me at this point. Who knows how long we'll have to wait for Missouri to move before we know our fate.

    I know you were all eagerly awaiting another breakdown on this, so there you go.

          BYU was long considered a top candidate to join the Big 12, but sources said BYU lost interest when the Big 12 appeared to be destabilizing in early September.
          LoL, like any of us believe these lies coming from BYU. It's obvious that ChiBro is just another one of Cecil's yes men.

            Yes, yes we were.

                    Chip Brown on BYU...

                    BYU is still down the list. West Virginia and Louisville are ahead of BYU right now. BYU got cold feet when OU spouted off on Sept. 2. And that relationship between BYU and the Big 12 hasn't been the same since.

                    BYU may not be out of it, but BYU is now probably hoping the Big 12 goes to 12 to have a chance to get in.

                            Chip Brown is full of it. Listen to me, not him. He knows about Texas not BYU. BYU never got "cold feet" about the Big 12. That's absurd.
