The concern on the board (and it's well-founded, in my opinion), is that without

standing in a P5 confidence, no matter how 11th hour BYU's entrance may be, there's no way BYU would be considered for a spot in a P4 conference. With the geopolitical hurdles BYU faces, the only thing many people think MIGHT get us included in a 64-team arrangement is tenure.

Kindly point to where I said BYU "was the best option". Also, what do you mean

It's easy to infer it from the "BYU blew it crowd."

I've implied nothing that doesn't involve multiple parties, so try again.

Yet now 3 commuter schools are now being considered

The unfortunate reality for the Big 12 is that it may not matter what they do.
