BIG XII isn't interested in the best option

We don't actually know that

There have been rumblings in the past year that they are looking east

TNT

TNT is tired of being patient. He will be a CB mod before BYU is in the Big 12

TNT

You already have been a CB mod

And wow what a day! CBers had to pay for their cardboard box hating ideals

The long term bodes well for BYU, the question is how long

Oklahoma would have gone to the PAC without Texas

The BIGXII has yet to make 1 good decision when it comes to the conference...

They really haven't. Can't believe Bowlsby still works there.

Greed is what is keeping the Big12 at 10 teams and greed is what will get BYU in

Wonder how much additional travel costs will be incurred if BYU is chosen

Dr T-bone

I agree. And I don't understand the whole "Gotta make WV happy" arguement.
