    Here's the reasoning--even if you believe the BEAST rumors, there's no way we commit this quickly. And football next year because two years doesn't make a lot of sense. The B12 doesn't need us in 2 years. The tv contract needs ten teams and has another three years on it--it's either next year or in three.
    Oh I know! I hope this as well and it makes sense. I just do not want to get my hopes up again just to have them dashed again. I do not think the Big Least makes any logistic sense at all for basketball and olympic sports, its just too far to travel, too often.

      For some reason, this strikes me as a little more credible than other stuff.
      Now, who is this tdawgcoug again and why does he seem more credible than Chip Brown?

        I've heard mixed reviews on him...but he's retweeting. (I have no idea if this was TIC or not...sorry. ) I have no idea who the guy is that he's retweeting, but the info seems more credible--it fits BYU's MO and all of the events thus far.
        At least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah

        • The only reason I find it remotely interesting is that it is not coming from the BYU side, it appears he was told from the WCC side. But really, it doesn't add up to much.

            So the WCC is already giving BYU the boot? You guys really are a PITA.

              • Sorry, but I have no confidence in these people who come back when the newsflow heats up again. Where were they when this case was as cold as a dead fish?

                Hottie, DocCoug, Clueless know precisely where I get my info from and though there's no guarantee it's perfect, it's from one of the only people (BYU side) in a position to know anything.

                  Referencing your immediate family members as witnesses to your secret source's identity doesn't really boost your credibility. At least, not when they're are similarly unwilling to out the source.

                  I could spout all sorts of crap and then tell you all that my Dad knows exactly where I'm getting my info from, but it wouldn't convince anyone here that they should listen to me.
                  Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                    I dont really care if they out the source, but I would rather hear from this supposed source than hear about how good the source is and how much the family believes in it. The proof of the pudding is in the eating.

                          I'll jump on the roller coaster. What's your info right now, again? Seriously, there's been so much going back and forth, I can't keep it straight.

                            If Hottie, DocCoug, and Clueless know your sources, that is good enough for me.

                              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.

                                That should work. Jacob told me last night that he would have his wife and two kids sign up with an account in order to verify what he heard Chris Hill say on the radio.
