If the B12 expands and doesnt pick BYU it's on Tom and Worthen. You're the best

Not true. It never got nearly far enough along for such a scenario.

Confirmed to me by a HC at BYU.

Not true, it didn't even get that far. Not saying it wouldn't happen though

Just stop, TNT. That's a crap rumor, and repeating it perpetuates it.

Nobody negotiated anything with the B12 in 2011. That was the Big East who said

You have a friend in the BIG 12 offices!! Is this friend still there?

SnickSnack

5/4/16 4:25pm

Still there and working everyday - involved in all meetings and discussions. Great thing is he has zero ties to BYU

The bigotry theory doesn't jive well with the "money is all that matters" theory

Zach Morris

I see it as bigotry and $. But not bigotry against BYU, but the

I disagree with the reality of this statement

The head you put the bigotry hat on is just semantics

Its really not his fault that it isnt happening.

This statement is very true.

I think 95% of BYU fans don't expect us to get an invite and I'm not blaming

The Big 12 has proven time after time that it is run by morons

franklyvulgar

5/3/16 9:11am

It was a different landscape in 2011 but those events may have poisoned the B12 long term. Back then

soupie

It isn't that black or white. Or at least we'll never know if it is or not.

Walter Bellhaven

5/3/16 9:37am

I get that it is nuanced but I'm going bottom line, just like Kalani has to

Blueto

Apples and oranges.

Walter Bellhaven

5/3/16 10:14am

Definitely the fault of Worthen and Holmoe that BYU is owned by the LDS Church.

I agree with this since closing the deal is CRITICAL to BYU's future; however

If they don't pick us, there may very well have been absolutely nothing Tom or Worthen could have done...

It's relative. Indy better than MWC. Nobody thinks Indy better than B12.

CosmoK

5/3/16 11:11am

no. It is on Mormons being a peculiar people and Big 12/pac 12 being bigots.

idacoug

Until Worthen and Holmoe find a way to detach BYU from the LDS church

Backcountry

That will never happen.

5/3/16 11:33am

Of course. And I wouldn't want it to. Just saying that BYU will never be P5.

How on earth did you reach that conclusion? Tom and President Worthen can't control who are selected

I don't believe that they will be solely responsible if we don't get in
