Thing is, the PAC is actually pretty geographically isolated

When it comes to realistic candidates, it's BYU and some party schools with little to no academic or athletic value. Oklahoma and Texas is a nice thought, but those two schools are *so* far from the PAC footprint that it seems a bit silly.

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

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.

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

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

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

G5 and P5 is not an NCAA distinction.

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

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

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

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

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

Samurai Jack

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

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