    Odds that BYU would accept an offer: 100%

    Overall odds of BYU going to the B12: 0.4 * 0.5 * 1.0 = 20%
    Could you please spin that to look more favorable to us than what the numbers actually say. Use MRD's post above as an example.

      I think we should go the route of being descriminated against because of religion and sue. If a Muslim University were in our situation, they would be in one of the big conferences in a heartbeat.

        Ha. MRD's post was funny.

          I thought so, too. At first I was going to give him an #mpfunklogic for jumping to some unsupported conclusion, but then when everyone started making fun of him it seemed like he was kidding as well. MRD is a funny guy!

            Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats.

              Shame on MRD for jumping to unsupported conclusions in the Big 12 expansion groundswell (BEG) thread.

                  No need for shaming. Everyone appreciates a funny post or thread.

                        Im super worried about that. After all, Luck was also on the same Playoff Selection Committee that totally excluded the B12.

                            but still part of a committee with representatives from all conferences. Much ado, much ado...
