    I think I'll go meander over to CB and see where the suicide watch is at...

          I was just over there. It's pretty much Lord of the Flies.

            Wow. I want to throw up. I'll hold out hope that things are still possibly good. However, TCU getting in is not good at all for BYU. Even if they go to 12 the chances are they take two Big East teams IMO, in order to use them as travel partners.

              Don't think other schools to be invited today by the Big 12. Just TCU. But Big 12 sources tell me league's not being held up by Missouri.
              Let's hope they go to 12.

                This will go down as one of the dumbest decisions for BYU ever. Unbelievable. Id rather have crowton back and go to the Big 12.

                  Boom...

                  This is another good sign for a Big 12 conference that has now received commitments from two new schools with TCU and BYU. The conference has seemed to go on the offense in terms of finding schools to join a newly-aligned Big 12. After losing Nebraska to the Big 10 and Colorado to the Pac 12, the conference has been in disarray with daily reports on the status' of Texas A&M and Missouri possibly looking at the SEC. But this is a good sign for the Big 12 and its' future.

                      Who is the author of this? And, if it's true, why isn't Chip Brown or any other Twitterhead mentioning BYU?

                        Yeah, I was just about to post I'm losing faith and then I see the Uncle Ted link. WTH is going on?

                              What the...?

                              How is it that TCU comes out full bore and puts a "TCU received a Big XII invite"....and yet BYU has been lurking in the Big XII hallways forever it seems, and we don't really get a sniff in the papers about receiving any formal invite?

                              Do I trust this?

                              ..sounds good, but can I trust that BYU AND TCU have received official invites and have accepted?

                              Hmm... Good motivation for me to remain active I guess.

                                That's my thought as well. If it were true, then BYU would be mentioned more than just in that article.
