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

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.

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

None of it will ever happen. Big or Pac.

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

G5 and P5 is not an NCAA distinction.

Thing is, the PAC is actually pretty geographically isolated

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

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

12/20/14 12:08pm

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.
