    Florida State
    NC State

    Maybe not. Maybe we have a shot!!!!
    For us to get in the B12, we'd need the B1G to take Virginia and one of either North Carolina or Georgia Tech.

    We'd need the SEC to take VaTech and NC State.

    Then the Big 12 could get Clemson, North Carolina, FSU, Miami, and at that point I think we're comparable with whoever else.

    They probably wouldn't go to 16 though.
    Will donate kidney for B12 membership.

      The Pac 12 has Utah and Washington filling those roles very well.

        Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

          The Big 12 closed its doors to BYU when they took West Virginia. They don't turn to the west again until the well in the east runs dry-- which won't happen, since the ACC's implosion will leave plenty of meat on the carcass for the Big 10, SEC, and Big 12 to carve up between the three of them.

          BYU's only way in is the PAC, under external pressure, moving to 16 by adding four schools from a group of candidates including SDSU, Fresno State, Boise, UNLV, UNR, and BYU.

            • With all due respect, is anyone besides the eersauthority running with this rumor? Because historically those West Virginia dudes are worse than Swaim when it comes to this conference alignment stuff.

              My guess is that there is nothing to see here.

                Well, Swaim seems to be getting into the act too, so....

                Greg Swaim Show ‏@GSwaim
                Two actual offers to #ACC school have been made by each the #B1G & #Big12, for a total of four....more forthcoming.

                  BYUs death comes closer and closer. if our only hope is the pac going to 16, we have no hope.

                  • I am speaking purely out of self interest here.

                    If we are left out of the final big boys conferences, I would like to see us drop football and encourage all our top LDS atheletes to go to Utah.

                    GBH once said the Jazz bring recognition to the State and also the Church.

                    Certainly Utah would. I would like someone from the State and and affilitated with the church, if only by association, playing and doing well in a big boy league. The only way Utah could do it would be doing what they are doing and adding the best of the athletes BYU gets.

                          Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

                            You do understand the meaning of "if" don't you? If you are sure we will be included that's great.

                              I'd rather root for UVU.
