    Odds that BYU would accept an offer: 100%

    Overall odds of BYU going to the B12: 1.0 * 0.0 * 1.0 = 0%
    It's math, so it must be true.

        It's a good thing you don't know anything about sports!
        Will donate kidney for B12 membership.

          I have no doubt the Big 12 would expand if there were a worthy candidate available. I'm sure that if CO and TAMU wanted to come back they'd be glad to take them.

            LOL

            Tell me more of this expansion that has to do with worthy candidates.

              CO is in the Pac 12, which, actually, is a more desireable conference than the Big 12. Maybe there's more to consider than recent W-L records. Are you a reflective person?

                Colorado doesn't even carry their market and they're falling behind CSU athletically. Utah splits the market with BYU, and falls far behind BYU on a national scale. Strange additions, getting teams that don't even carry a market by themselves while splitting them with supposed G5 schools. I suppose you'll try to say that these are elite academic institutions while continuing to associate with schools like ASU.

                  If you really believe CSU is a bigger prize than CO we're through talking about this.

                    Scoreboard. Go check out who's in and who's out of what conferences.

                      That isn't what I said. I said CU carries very little of their market and continues to be poor athletically in most things. You guys both have that cute ski team thing going though, I've heard.

                          I have 4 more posts in this thread than SU. I'll slow down for a bit so he can catch up.
