This might be hard to believe, but sports are only one component of
a very complicated world.
Having the B10 brand would raise the public's perception of BYU in many ways...including academics.

The Big10 is the Sominex of the P5 conferences.

Agreed-however, I think it's a better fit for BYU given geography and academics.

Academics? Citing academics is just a ruse. No one really cares

In academic circles they do, being a "Big 10" school means something.

Specifically it means something to B10 Presidents

It's a sports conference

Sure, but you can't argue that the effect isn't real. B10 schools as a group

There's a wormhole that extends from Payson to State College

Absolutely

That means little to geography really.

Nebraska is a counter point to your academics argument and by geography,

Proximity to Utah is what matters geography wise for conference affiliation

Kansas to West Virginia vs Nebraska to New Jersey?

Try distance to each school rather than the extremes.

At that point, it's just a plane ticket.

True. In reality I'd be ecstatic to be part of the BIG10.

I'm not sure your alumni numbers are right either

Good find--I had no idea that Texas had that many BYU alum. Wonder how many of

Big10 by far, We would be much more competitive

Big 10 is less of a cluster.

BYU should feel slimy if they had Delaney for a commissioner

Beats your current commissioner.

PAC 12 > Big 12 > SEC > Big 10 > ACC

The Big 12 almost went out of business and one of its top programs went B1G.

I think you underestimate Texas a bit, and when I say "Texas" I'm referring to

The PAC is top tier with the SEC and B1G. It rivals both athletically

Nobody here in SEC Country considers the PAC 12 at the same level.

They certainly consider it at least the same level as the B10

They did in Nashville before the season. I don't know where you are, but that is
