BIG12 needs to expand PAC does not BIG does not NEED to go east

WVU joined on an island.they can rot there. Three time zones is not a problem for football or b ball... If WVU needs someone cles they should get into teh ACC or SEC...BIG12 can add Cincy and BYU now and if smart teh two florida schools CSU and BSU for football only. problems solved all the way around.

I think BYU's best chance at getting into a P5 is in the PAC12.

It does seem like the Big12 just isn't happening

Tell that to the presidents of stanford and cal and report back

This is ridiculous

It's a pretty open secret that Stan and Cal were against BYU admission to the

Open secret on CB. The echoes here become real over time.

do you think the old Ann Richards anti-BYU movements is just CB legend too?

Thank you.

nope. in fact, the Pac 12 ADs love BYU.

12/20/14 5:57pm

Glen Tuckett said that 20+ years ago. Where is the evidence for that now?

12/20/14 6:24pm

no but since almost all of them schedule with BYU I assume we enjoy a good

run26

12/20/14 7:10pm

Stanford and Cal schedule with BYU.

12/21/14 8:31am

it's on thing to schedule games. it's another to allow membership

run26

12/21/14 11:13am

That was my point. You made the assumption above about other AD's.

12/22/14 5:21pm

Explain that position. What does politics have to do with it?

12/19/14 9:23pm

Didn't it say "West Coast?" Is Utah on the West Coast?

Actually, it was "far west coast." One could interpret that as carefuly NOT

None of it will ever happen. Big or Pac.

ncaa doesn't have control over that stuff any more.

Then it probably doesn't matter.

G5 and P5 is not an NCAA distinction.

The Big 12 is much more realistic.

Thing is, the PAC is actually pretty geographically isolated

Harrison0Yfan

12/20/14 12:03am

The good news is BYU only needs 9 out of 12 Pac schools to sign off on adding.

12/20/14 12:37am

A lot of other schools in that conference that are very liberal

From what I've been told, the other schools are actually BYU-friendly even with

And go where?

Anywhere. Stanford and Cal are not run by people who care primarily about

Except we are alreaalready in at least one athletic conference

CougDogg-e-Dogg

12/20/14 12:14pm

Yes. There have been reports that some in the PAC expect Stanford will

do you have a link to these reports?

No way.

Playing BYU as an opponent every few seasons is not the same as ASSOCIATING with

TSH_Rapid_Resp_Team

12/20/14 12:05pm

They don't have to leave because they can prevent BYU from joining.

12/20/14 12:08pm

you only have to have 75% of the conference approval for expansion now.

CougDogg-e-Dogg

12/20/14 12:12pm

As I understand, they are not alone in their disdain for BYU.

12/20/14 1:44am

It's not happening unless BYU takes a differing approach to academic freedom…

"Probably" and "never, ever" don't go well in the same sentence.
