You want people to tell you why you are wrong about something you made up?
What makes you think I made it up?

You say I made it up. I say I expressed my opinion. Do you disagree with my opinion?

I tend to agree with you, but I'd like to see those who believe it will happen chime in and tell us why we're wrong. Junkie is the only one to have backed up the idea that Sunday play is not an issue; I'll wait for others to make the case other than "[w]e don't think it's an issue."
It is obviously an issue. Can it be overcome? Will BYU make some sort of compromise? One would hope so. One can dream.

Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

How do you know it's an issue? Because IPU says so?
"Sure, I fought. I had to fight all my life just to survive. They were all against me. Tried every dirty trick to cut me down, but I beat the bastards and left them in the ditch."
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.

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 need to start a fake twitter account and make up crap about expansion.

I really liked that last one. If they say something, they didn't agree. If they don't, something happened. That logic is unassailable.
Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats.
