Val Hale confirmed what many have suspected. BYU will never be in the Pac 12

He said the school presidents are all very liberal and based on politics would never allow BYU to be a member of the conference.

Also brought up the story about how BYU was supposed to be in the Big 12 but a Texas legislator got mad when Baylor and TT weren't included, so they took our spot.

Val Hale is living in 1993/94 still. Newsflash, that was 21 years ago.

Amen. Mormons were hated in the 90's, but are beloved to liberals now.

With sports revenues now schools are less inclined to be so black and white...

For a school like Notre Dame or Texas, sure

If anything, the Presidents hate BYU even more today. Prop 8, gay marriage

Things change. Views change. Val Hale is a good dude but old news.

Oh geez. That is ridiculous. Hale is 100x more in the know than anyone here.

Toko could be right though..

Anything's possible, but there isn't any support for his bald speculation

YSMACK

7/29/15 9:59am

Maybe Vale isn't connected as he use to be...

Heinz57

7/29/15 10:04am

He is 100x more connected than Tok or anyone else.

YSMACK

7/29/15 10:07am

You are so wrong in this post about my connections...

Tokolosh

7/29/15 10:10am

okay 1000x. However, you aren't talking about mere realm of possibility.

YSMACK

7/29/15 10:13am

I don't disagree with you. But I also see a different landscape now.

Tokolosh

7/29/15 9:54am

Good points Toko...I can see that as well

Heinz57

Nonsense.

That may have been true when Val Hale was AD, it's not necessarily true anymore

VH also wants to see a comeback for the bibs.

Hale was not the AD when the Pac considered expansion in the early 90s. Tucket

Josef K

I've spoken with Hale about this. He isn't basing his experience on the 90s.

It was the Texas governor who stepped in and swapped out BYU for Baylor

Main reason I applauded when George Bush beat Ann Richards for gov.
