At least as far as we know.

It keeps coming up though, so you have to wonder why.

I think 90% of the BYU-B12 info is speculation re-hashed as fact

Twin Roots

That's just speculation!

According to Neinas, it isn't true. He said that BYU was cordial and presented a

'its not you its me' why would he say anything bad about byu

Why would he say anything good?

workindev

He is a professional

There is some strong confirmation bias going on here

workindev

7/7/15 9:52am

Only a few people would really know

Well something was amiss

I understand the accused p.I.t.y.

Chip Brown was the first I remember reporting that BYU was difficult

concolor couguar

7/7/15 9:34am

No, Chip Brown reported that BYU was concerned with the stability of the Big 12

workindev

7/7/15 9:37am

Based upon what you just said, it could easily be implied.

Turnpike Lane

7/7/15 9:39am

I don't know if it's true. Neinas didn't say that BYU walked away, and McMurphy

We need a 30 for 30 exposing everything

Oooooooooo......good call

I hate to say it but when is BYU not difficult to work with

The two leading theories seem to be:

We don't know. We do know there are many public statements from the WCC...

It originated with the Big East's courting of BYU

Freddie Cougar

It originated with SDSU

Turnpike Lane

Because bloggers need fodder

Freddie Cougar

And they are all just regurgitating the same original rumor

Freddie Cougar

BYU was NOT difficult with the Big 12

2FarGone

7/7/15 10:00am

So there is absolutely no basis for this based on what happened with the Big 12?

TNT

7/7/15 10:01am

what happened? There's a lot of different versions of this story.

Ft Worth Cougar

7/7/15 10:06am

But we don't know what happened with the Big 12. The fact that we weren't

So you both agree it's possible. That's what TNT was looking for from 2FarGone

Sure it's possible. It's also possible that BYU were angels to deal with and

SDSU's staff was bashing BYU during the B12 expansion

concolor couguar

7/7/15 10:31am

SDSU has been bashing BYU for 30 years

workindev

7/7/15 10:37am

So you agree it had nothing to do with "competing for our spot in the big east"

concolor couguar

7/7/15 10:39am

No, SDSU got the Big East invite as soon as we turned them down

workindev

7/7/15 10:46am

But they had been "bashing BYU for 30 years"

I remember talking with TH at the BSU pre-game tailgate in 2012 about Big East

I can't show you anything but I spoke to a head coach at BYU that told me this.

Rumor and speculation now treated as fact due to repetition.

If we were not difficult, BYU......
