For BYU right now, it's about access, SOS, and playing for something after

losing a game or 2. If this conference has access, I think it's a no-brainer for us. We could still schedule strong OOC and have some good teams to play in conference. Plus basketball would be exponentially better with teams like Baylor, Texas Tech, Iowa St, Memphis, Cincinnati, UConn, etc. That would be a very solid Basketball conference.

The main takeaway is B12 teams might be looking.

Ouch. The leftovers would be a slight upgrade to the AAC. In the end, BYU gets

BC at home in 2016 would mean no FCS game

So we would essentially get into a conference that wont be any better than MWC..

TT, TCU, Baylor, Boise, Cincinnati = Better than MWC

I think you're wrong about that. How has BSU sustained their level of play?

For kicks and giggles, say the Big12 does get absorbed in part by the ACC

That conference make up wouldn't get P5 status. Looks more G5 to me.
