Because B12 can't afford to take that chance

and BYU is the B12 BEST draw...hands down, over ANYONE out there...B12 doesn't want to be known as the step sister to the SEC. They want a level playing field...BYU is the ONE team that gives the B12 that chance.

If Holmoe gets the official invite from B12, does he place one last call to

No but he has his assistant do it while he stalls.

No, you don't want Scott to make a hard push at Texas and Oklahoma again.

That could put the big 12 invite in jeopardy

Absolutely not.

I know I am in a minority but I prefer the Big 12 over the Pac 12

kC Cougar

7/31/15 11:13am

I do too.

Fightgar

7/31/15 11:18am

Same here.. I'd pick the Big 12 over the Pac 12 any day..

Differentiation is a good thing

YIsForBrigham

7/31/15 11:53am

Silent majority. I am alum of BYU and ASU and would still take Big 12 first

AzCoug1

7/31/15 12:36pm

Me too, but mainly because I live in the middle of B12 country

Bill

7/31/15 12:41pm

I am in this boat too, but only because I HATE most of the teams in the PAC 1(2)

SouthernAZcoug

7/31/15 1:23pm

Me too. Let those west coast sissies rot in the Pacific Time Zone.

Dysfunction or bigotry, take your pick. BYU v Utah as B12 v P12 is fun.

panguitch

7/31/15 1:38pm

Living in OK, I prefer the Big12 by a mile

dYrtbYkerYder

7/31/15 2:27pm

I would take the Big 12 over the Pac 12

Think about it...

Heinz57

7/31/15 11:14am

Until Larry calls Bob and tells him in order to take away BYU's leverage.

yorksama

7/31/15 11:16am

Won't happen like that

Heinz57

7/31/15 11:20am

It very well could happen if P12 stands to gain anything from BYU being left out

AzCoug1

7/31/15 12:46pm

Nope

Heinz57

7/31/15 3:38pm

^^^^After a well crafted argument, I am changing my position

AzCoug1

7/31/15 11:48pm

then larry says "no invite" and tom calls big12 back and they say "nevermind"

Fightgar

7/31/15 11:19am

That won't happen either

Heinz57

7/31/15 11:23am

How do you know it won't happen?

Fightgar

7/31/15 11:26am

Or what happens when someone in the Pac gives word of our overture to a contact

Six Foot Seven

7/31/15 11:32am

Because B12 can't afford to take that chance

Heinz57

7/31/15 11:35am

This is what got us in trouble in '11. The minute the Big 12 offers the answer

kotacoug

7/31/15 11:39am

BYU fans see it that way. But, I wouldn't say the rest of the world (B12)

CoogsWin

7/31/15 2:43pm

Downside to that..

Anae4Anae

7/31/15 11:31am

No way.. take it, sign it, and announce it to the world..

Absolutely not.

Yes

How disgustingly arrogant of you.

RE: How disgustingly arrogant of you.

Thunder Buddy

7/31/15 11:21am

Absolutely. We need in to the P12 over the B12.

Ragnar Danneskjold

7/31/15 11:16am

Brilliant!

vacougfan

7/31/15 11:19am

What is your sig gif from (other than Russia)?

Six Foot Seven

7/31/15 11:23am

Yep. Tells them, give me a couple days to get BOT approval, then calls PAC.

Florwood

7/31/15 11:17am

don't you think he already has BOT approval?

Fightgar

7/31/15 11:20am

Maybe he already has BOT approval. Does the B12 know that?

Wingnut

7/31/15 11:22am

B12 doesn't care

Heinz57

7/31/15 11:25am

I know this isn't "Shark Tank"...

Fightgar

7/31/15 11:29am

B12 needs BYU...period

Heinz57

7/31/15 11:41am

No way Jose

Yakov

7/31/15 11:18am

That would be NO.

wYred

7/31/15 11:19am

No because it won't work that way. The P12 will be aware of the invite probably

YIsForBrigham

7/31/15 11:24am

If you want to do this, you don't call Lars Scott, you give a tip to someone

CougDogg-e-Dogg

7/31/15 11:25am

no. he immediately says "you got a deal!"

yahtzee

7/31/15 11:26am

Is B12 deal Fball only?

CosmoK

7/31/15 11:30am

if big12 calls with an invite, and you think tom should call larry...

Fightgar

7/31/15 11:35am

No. Scott has no authority to invite BYU. He is a puppet.

mtnKat

7/31/15 11:56am

good point. he can initiate and propose but...

Holmoe has talked to EVERYONE out there that matters. If an invite comes, I'm

ol' Blue Eyes

7/31/15 12:07pm

No! There is nothing Holmoe could tell Scott that he doesn't already know.

YES!

100% absolutely yes.

No, you stick it to them on the field

Harrison0Yfan

7/31/15 3:09pm

Too desperate. Besides, the Pac-12 will already know.

Celeritas

7/31/15 3:15pm

If the Pac 12 calls, put them on hold and call the Big 12
