FB only is not done by any other major conference
Apparently there's a perception in the B12 that it's bush league. Makes sense to me, I'm not a fan of FB only either. Kind of a weird situation.

Mormonism

This is probably the biggest obstacle.

Which is Sunday play. If we weren't Mormon we'd play on Sunday.

Mormonism is a much larger hurdle than Sunday play.

Yeah but that's the easy way to avoid us and have a clear conscience

You can say that about inclusion of BYU in ANY conference yet....

BYU would be a "big dog" in the Big 12 as far as revenue is concerned

Actually, WCC had Sunday play before BYU came in. They changed the policy

But his point is that it is not a valid concern. It's just a pride thing.

Sunday play was never a problem for the WAC, MWC and WCC but suddenly it's a huge problem for the Big12?

How many FB and MBB games are on Sunday?

Almost none. The Sunday scheduling issues are almost all for olympic sports

The WBB tournament takes place on a Sunday. That's pretty substantial.

All 12 spectators will get over it and be OK with a Sat championship.

If only those 12 spectators made the big decisions.

BYU was the big fish in the little pond in the WAC and MWC. WCC was hppy to oblige to get BYU in the conference.

It's just a pride thing then. It's not a legitimate concern.

It's like inviting yourself to dinner and giving the hosts a laundry list of all your food allergies.

Not unless you travel like they do in the B12...

I agree. It is very easy to schedule a women's softball game on a Saturday.

You realize it would only take a couple Big12 presidents/ADs to care about scheduling issues related to no-Sunday play

Maybe it's time to move to Jackson County.

Why is travel such a big deal. Theoretically increased travel costs
