    The big thing keeping BYU out of the BIG12 is the sorry state of the women's gymnastics "program."
    No Sunday play being the obstacle is a euphemism for anti-Mormonism which is very prevalent in the Big 12 in all its manifestations. BYU will never get in the Big 12.

      Now I'm confused. Is it the Big 12 or the PAC 12 that is anti-Mormon?

              Why does it matter the reason if BYU doesn't get in? It's not like I'd demand that all of you folks eat crow.

                If BYU isn't a better football choice than the other teams they're considering, then I don't know when we'll ever be.

                          This is an excellent point.

                                It's a sport in which we rarely lose to BYU. Not unlike football.
