I don't think you understand.
Stanford and Cal would LEAVE THE PAC-12 if BYU were added. Seriously. In light of this, it's a no-brainer not to take BYU. BYU is garbage compared to the combination of Stanford and Cal (when you look at the schools holistically).

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

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