in B12 expansion and even expressing that we will be flexible (e.g. football only). This takes away any leverage any of the anti-BYU B12 members had and forces them to add BYU, or risk being labeled as religious bigots. The majority of the national reporting is saying that BYU is a no-brainer and the clear #1 choice, checking off all the boxes of expansion criteria. B12 can't say that BYU preferred independence, or that BYU is hard to deal with or that Sunday play is an issue. Those arguments have all been negated, for the most part, by TH.

This might have already been discussed, but I only spend a few minutes a day on CB and don't read every post.
