The Big 12 expansion groundswell

[Omaha 680]

Sounds like something made up by one of those "progmo" BKP haters that frequent this board.

I heard they are all dead or in hiding.

ST. George newspaper columnist thinks that BYU's hope to go to B12 is not unrealistic. :rockon2:

I heard an interview with Bronco on the radio the other day. Not sure if it was current or a repeat of an old interview. He was pimping BYU's qualities out to the Big 12. Man he sounded desperate. Sucks.

that was from last month, i believe. Bronco stated outright that he wanted to join the B12. A few days later, the B12 clarified that they weren't interested. My guess is that the landscape has changed in the past couple of weeks, prompting this ST. George reporter to write his most recent opinions.

Tweeted out today from the NCAA. Those little building icons represent schools who have a "say" and "matter." Schools such as Iowa State, Rutgers, Wake Forest, Utah, Pitt, and TCU are represented while BYU is not.

This article from a couple of days ago seems to corroborate what the NCAA is tweeting. According to the article, the b12 is not expanding this season and BYU will continue being a football independent

Sonsuhbitches got no rights to castigate God's Church for keeping the womenfolk downtrodden! One team one vote, I says!

No worries. Goatnapper'96 says that the Big12 will soon have no choice but to invite BYU.

I will follow you whereever you go on this one. Frickin biggots. I know why we aren't in. It is because we stand for something loftier than winning football games. We would be a light on the hill and example of what college football should really be about.

I really get riled up thinking about how far we are from what college sports once were.

It is inevitable. You all are much like Vlady Putin and on the wrong side of history.

Dick Harmon sez: BYU isn't in and b12 doesn't want to expand BIT if b12 changed its mind BYU could possibly be in for various reasons!

Interesting take. It sounds like BYU needs to make the best of their current situation while setting themselves up for advancement should the opportunity arise. Hope the powers that be keep that in mind.

Sounds like BYU is trying to remind the Big 12 they want in and hoping that since it's in the media the Big 12 might buy in at some point. The schools like A&M, Maryland,WVU and Rutgers who were bold were the winners. The schools who waited(BYU) lost out.

"BYU" mentioned in an article about the b12

http://www.wvillustrated.com/story/25982963/big-xii-conference-logo-initiative-among-minimal-changes-in-2014

Rumors have surfaced of BYU and San Diego State being interested in Big XII membership, but the league has held true to its word after adding West Virginia and TCU on July 1, 2012: No more expansion is in the near future.

If you read the comments to the article, BYU is also mentioned at least once!
