            Oh well. It sucks, but now that BYU is universally considered a P5 school it doesn't seem as pressing. Future schedules are looking nice and the B12 seems to be run by morons. Not that I wouldn't want to join, but their increasing irrelevance does make our current situation a lot more palatable.

              It doesn't seem stupid to me as much as it seems more like we're in a despondent situation.
              Will donate kidney for B12 membership.

                Knock it off. This board has enough problems without a dose of middle-age lechery.

                  That was my feelings when "my team" was a member of the Big 12.

                  • Seeings how the big 12 isn't happening why not think of an out of box deal with the ACC?

                    The ACC is going to go to 3 Divisions
                    Atlantic
                    Clemson
                    FSU
                    Ga Tech
                    Louisville
                    Wake

                    Coastal
                    Duke
                    UNC
                    NC State
                    Virginia
                    Va Tech

                    Conference
                    BC
                    Miami
                    Pitt
                    Syracuse
                    ND

                    ND is currently contracted to play 5 games every year with the ACC. What if BYU played their other 4 conference games?
                    Byu could get home games in November and possible bowl slot or champ game if say they were undefeated. Maybe even some home and home basketball games.
                    ACC gets 4 more conference games to even out their schedule and 2 of them they have the sole media rights.
                    ND gets to move around the Conference and doesn't have to just play everyone in their division.

                    just a thought.

                    • Why can't BYU sue the PAC12 or the BIG 12 for discrimination. Anyone with half a brain would recognize BYU could fit all the criteria those conferences would require. A baker can't decide to deny to cater a gay wedding and yet a conference with schools who get government money can freely discriminate?

                      Doesn't sound right or lawful.

                          Good enough to get you to respond stupidly to it.

                            There is no basis for a discrimination lawsuit. BYU would look stupid to file such a suit. And even if it were somehow successful, it would be a terrible way to join a conference.

                            Incredibly dumb idea all the way around.

Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

                                Probably. But can you honestly tell when BYU71 is trolling?
