picked up on as well.

Last year bluebrotha claimed that the 2011 talks ended up centered around football-only, but now he says that last fall (2014) "BYU's subsequent and possibly belated offer for football-only was warmly accepeted."

So, was football-only on the table in 2011 or not?

Personally, I doubt it was because the Big 12 had (and may still have) bylaws that required a member to participate in conference in at least 5 non-football sports. Bylaws can be changed, but they rarely do so in secret.
