I would do anything to get BYU in a P5 conf. We just have to get in and maneuver a course from there if and when conference realignments take place. If we can't get into the Big 12 we may get left out forever and that's not going to be good.
BYU just doesn't have enough clout and is on the odds with the politically correct do-gooders who are more and more dominating everything. They hate Mormons and they hate BYU, among many other things most of which also applies to BYU. It's a tough situation and it's not going to get better any time soon.
The time to get situated in a better conference was many years ago and BYU passed. Now we're paying for it.
