and the Big 12 and their media partners only had one candidate that added value--BYU. So it was easier to renogotiate the media contract than to expand.

so, if it wasn't for external issues, why did BYU get left out? Those issues

The OP may or may not be spot on. But it says nothing about what you claim

Like I've said, I heard it from credible people.

No, it is related to the pro rata clause. BYU might have been worth pro rata

Okay, then. Don't buy it. I don't care.

Honest question: didn't they know BYU would be only one adding value befote

Media partners stepped in and didn't want dilution.

Primarily pressure by gays/gay supporters on BYU due to the Honor Code.

How has Sitake "veered off course?" I'm curious.

Probably hires. Not talking Detmer, but others, including support positions.

Detmer was a terrible hire as an OC...

We don't have 3 good LBs, let alone 4. 4-3 is 100% the right choice

Dissenter

9/25/17 7:45pm

3-4 = 3 DL and 4 LBs... and 4-3 is 4 DL and 3 LBs

You mean the one lead by 4 players in the NFL right now...

So...coaches get no credit for good years and take all the heat for the bad ones

I don't know, but in Monson's recent feature on Holmoe he indicated as such

Like he's going to divulge this amount of detail. SMH...good grief.

What about ESPN renewal

jkccoug

9/25/17 7:58pm

Ummm, no P5 is inviting us...ever. Too politically inconvenient

zerome4sooners

9/25/17 8:20pm

It is likely politically inconvenient but very financially enticing to any P5

Of course you're an ever optimistic BYU fan, but how are you so sure it would be
