    You want people to tell you why you are wrong about something you made up?

            Nowhere in your posts did you indicate it was an opinion. Maybe that is why you are confused.

              It is obviously an issue. Can it be overcome? Will BYU make some sort of compromise? One would hope so. One can dream.

                How do you know it's an issue? Because IPU says so?

                  It's more of an excuse rather than an issue. The only sport that would have significant scheduling hurdles would be baseball. The Big 12 isn't going to make a decision on what team to add based on difficulties with baseball scheduling...just think about what you are saying. There are other reasons why BYU might not get in, but it won't be because of Sunday play.

                    That's a great question. Junkie provides some data as to what the actual Sunday scheduling is.

                    What is the actual Sunday scheduling for other sports? Without providing some data, there's no evidence to support that it could be an issue.

                      Unless one is privy to all thoughts and negotiations, knowing what the issues are is impossible. However, articles have been written that having to accommodate BYU for Sunday play does create inconvenience. Do I believe it's that much of a deal? No, but then again I'm not on the inside.

                      Principal issues would be concerns about distance, traveling partner, size of media market versus the potential in eastern markets and the perception that BYU is difficult to work with.

                              I really liked that last one. If they say something, they didn't agree. If they don't, something happened. That logic is unassailable.
