"But,but,but, the Big12 was unstable." How was the worst amount of instability

I remember it being very unstable at the time

idacoug

1/28/15 11:30am

I can. Just get in. Worst that could have happened is we just go independent

LiveCoug

1/28/15 11:35am

This makes no sense. Without TX and OK, you might as

Bostonblue

Right, if the remainder of the Big 12 gets left in the cold, then

LiveCoug

1/28/15 11:42am

Yeah, that sends a great message about Indy.

Bostonblue

1/28/15 11:45am

I feel like you aren't getting what I am saying.

LiveCoug

1/28/15 11:48am

Really? I wouldn't mind being in a conference with Oklahoma State, Texas Tech

Windward_Coug

I'm not saying its the worst thing in the world either. I'm

Bostonblue

Yep. If BYU did in fact hesitate it would further prove how out of touch

swingcat

Never offered = CYA

I think the fiasco of the Mtn. channel was still fresh in their minds

I can instability meant an opportunity for BYU and they didn't take it.

I'll take Made-Up Scenarios Taken As Fact for 500 Alex.

BYU would not have been able to go Indy if we have given a grant of

Bostonblue

1/28/15 11:33am

IIRC, the B12 grant of rights wasn't signed til TX and OU were back in the fold

silk

1/28/15 11:36am

Right. But you don't join the Big12 unless

Bostonblue

1/28/15 11:39am

right, but you wouldn't have had to sign the grant of rights if UT and OU

LiveCoug

1/28/15 11:42am

Without UT and OK, the Big12 would have gone the way

Bostonblue

1/28/15 11:44am

...and BYU would be forced to go back to independence.

and makes us look desperate

Bostonblue

1/28/15 11:46am

In contrast to BYU's current situation?

swingcat

1/28/15 11:47am

Have you seen our schedules coming up?

Bostonblue

1/28/15 11:55am

This is not true BYU would have been more valuable after going to the Big 12.

johnnybyu

1/28/15 12:07pm

We would not have been able to go indy due to a grant of rights.

Bostonblue

1/28/15 1:31pm

The grant of rights was only signed to keep OU and UT, so if we had signed

LiveCoug

1/28/15 1:59pm

Not so. TX and OU could easily have paid whatever exit penalty

Bostonblue

1/28/15 2:13pm

Ya, because we don't look desperate now.

Superman21

1/28/15 5:05pm

Just because you are desperate, does not mean BYU is.

Bostonblue

1/28/15 5:09pm

Just because BYU is not desperate does not mean they don't look desperate.

Superman21

1/28/15 6:07pm

I never said that I would not want to be in the Big 12 as it

Bostonblue

1/28/15 7:33pm

Or be stuck in a league with Baylor, TT, KSU, Kansas, etc...

swingcat

1/28/15 11:47am

My bet is that any above average teams that remained

Bostonblue

1/28/15 11:49am

The enormous payouts from the Texahoma 4 would have been a nice nest egg

We didn't balk because of instability, we just never got the invite

BYUCougarsFan

1/28/15 11:33am

right, but assuming you're married, did you ask before you knew the answer?

palangi

1/28/15 11:45am

The answer from BYU would have been yes.

BYUCougarsFan

1/28/15 11:46am

without any guarantees from OU and Texas? I strongly disagree, BYU was loving

johnnybyu

1/28/15 12:26pm

The instate comparison with Utah is only amplifying that decision four years ago

Bonoman

1/28/15 12:45pm

Remember, at that time teams that were jumping conferences

Justinodhan

"media conversations"?

Hoosier Coug

1/28/15 11:57am

media outlets we saying we were on the list to join the big 12

Justinodhan

1/28/15 12:00pm

Negotiation tactic by the Big 12 to gain leverage in talks with TCU, WVU, etc.

Hoosier Coug

1/28/15 12:45pm

Agree BYU should have looked at the instability as an opportunity not an issue

"It was ours for the taking" - not true at all.

This is pathetic, if it is remotely true you're crying over spilt milk....

Would you have been happy in a conference with Iowa State, Baylor, and TX Tech?

Ha... "The BYU Barnum and Bailey's"

bluegato

Big 12? Reality is that still no one likes or trusts Texas.
