The Big 12 expansion groundswell

[Uncle Ted]

Biff on CB is reporting from the CC luncheon. Supposedly per Holmoe, BYU to the Big 12 is dead. But, we are in talks with "several" other conferences.

Besides the Big Least... The Pac-Whatever? Or (so that SU doesn't need to chime in) does the MWC want BYU back and is willing to allow BYUtv?

Obviously the Big-12 is going to change their name. My knees have never buckled!

Ah... I think you are right. How about the Most Excellent 12?

Of course we aren't. The B12 already said that they are through expanding for now. How is this any kind of news?

Wake me up when he says, "We will never go to the Big 12."

Although Chipper's recap puts a slightly different light on things...

Here is my take away from Tom Holmoe at the cougar club luncheon.

The negociations with the Big 12 are dead for now. The Big 12 doesn't know where it is going right now and people within the Big 12 have said that things are changing by the hour and day. After what has transpired, BYU is thinking that it isn't wanted by the Big 12. They don't explain to us why we haven't received an invitation after having discussions. We are still in negociations with other conferences (he didn't single out the big east I think). Travel is not a concern if it means we are playing who we want to play with the right exposure.

Right. The only thing we can conclude from what he said is that BYU has lots of options and multiple conferences want BYU.

Yep, the WAC, CUSA, and the MWC all want BYU.

Big East is our new home, quite obviously.

I won't even post what I heard about a certain west coast conference because no one will believe it any way

Yeah, I am not too excited about the Pac-whatever either.

PM it to me. I may not believe you, but I am always pumped when I see your updates.

[Hot Lunch]

As you shouldn't. The PAC-12 has no interest. You were excited about the Dysfunctional-whatever though.

No, sorry. No one will believe me when I say that the Pac12 is totally, like, gay.

I will. Ive come around, I believe you are a prophet.
