        I think BYU will take a wait and see approach. No matter what happens with TAMU before the season, I don't think BYU does anything with an invite (if it happens/happened) until January.

            Did you guys catch the "yellow snow" post on CB? That BYU has an invite, regardless of whether A&M leaves?

            I've never really understood why we need to be invited with a partner.

              I would like to see Boise State invited so BYU could have a good end of the year rivalry game. In my perfect world the way the Big 12 goes is thus:

              aTm leaves for somewhere.

              Big 12 adds BYU, Notre Dame and Boise State.

              Big 12 del norte: BYU, ND, BSU, KSU, KU, Iowa State

              Big 12 dela sur: Texas, Baylor, Texas Tech, Mizzou, Oklahoma State, other inconsequential team that I forgot but I know there must be another to equal 12.

                        Why would the Big 12 invite BYU now? As far as I know TAMU doesn't have an invite either.

                        BTW, did Holmoe also say that the Big 12 hasn't even been talking to BYU? I suspect it is all talk at this point.

                          That was his main point. Until he receives a call from Dodds/Beebe, we are happy were we are at.

Adding in Notre Dame, BYU and a 3rd team would give the Big12 a lot of strength. TCU would be the best football program but not sure if they would want another Texas team. Louisville would be a good add in terms of Football and Basketball. But do they leave the Big East for the Big 12? Boise would be a top football school but not much else and is out of the way a bit.

                            Is there any way they could convince Arkansas to jump back from the SEC?
                            If the Big 12 really could add Notre Dame, A&M may have to reconsider their departure, negating the need for a third addition.

                              Even if he had been contacted, he couldn't say anything. If BYU starts blabbing about how the B12 has been talking to them, A&M will feel like they've been given permission to leave. I'm sure the B12 would still prefer to keep A&M at this point.
                              Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.
