Walk-on
Probably so. But, the best negotiation comes when the other party knows you're
willing to walk away. There may be life left, but I could definitely see it as being dead at this point too.

Id rather they not expand to expanding without BYU.

this is like being happy we are 1-3 b/c the losses are "close"

More like preferring to be 1-3 than 0-4.

who's really surprised at this? With the amount of egos and politics involved

There is a reason Nebraska and Colorado left the B12.

Why do they need to back pedal? They all said it was fluid

"fluid" the ol' 2010-2011 standby...Not a particularly great vintage IMHO...

Every source I read said it was "a done deal" but things were fluid

I have nothing to refute this, but Boren and Oklahoma were down on expansion

this is GOOD NEWS for BYU. Now, seek a scheduling deal with the BIG12.

That is the dumbest thing I've read. BYU needs an invite to a P5 conference.
