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.Originally posted by LiveCoug View Post

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.

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.

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.Originally posted by byu71 View PostGood enough to get you to respond stupidly to it.
