Would they change the bylaws for
one school, when everyone else, including the others trying to get in, are ok with Sunday play?

Question about a "football only" Big XII invite:

I think it is the most likely of all B12 Expansion Scenarios.

Big XII bylaws do not allow for football-only membership

I'm sure they can change the by laws if they really want to.

I'm very afraid that the answer might be no.

They'd invite for all sports or at least all sports that bring in money

Would BYU do that? Split their programs into different conferences like that?

Take us FB only and schedule agreement for all other sports. We play full

I'm sure we would all take that. I don't think that's realistic though. Who in

Solves Sunday problem.
scott715
8/2/15 6:10pm
It does... But I think that would be pretty dysfunctional to just have one team
Polecat
8/2/15 6:55pm
The other rough option is to drop the sports with Sunday play.
scott715
8/2/15 8:31pm
That's a lot of sports
Polecat
8/2/15 8:42pm
Depends on why the are expanding

This worries me. I think several Big XII championships include Sunday play.
Polecat
8/2/15 4:29pm
The Big 12 plays a lot of soccer and some volleyball matches on Sundays.

I'm worried that Cincinnati and Memphis become perfect fits because of this.
Polecat
8/2/15 4:35pm
there would be 6 conference matches. Moving one does not hurt the network.

8/2/15 5:03pm
It becomes huge issue, though, when you start talking about championships.

8 of them on Sunday. Only 3 are tv sports. The others can move start up a day
scott715
8/2/15 5:17pm
That is a big, BIG question.
Polecat
8/2/15 5:21pm
Agreed. Last time the Big 12 decided not to deal with the headache. There
NewMexiCoug
8/2/15 5:55pm
I agree. I hope that doesn't end up meaning exclusion for football.
Polecat
8/2/15 6:00pm
leave the 8 in WCC others move to Big12?
scott715
8/2/15 6:13pm
I wish that were an option. I just cannot see the WCC giving up their only
NewMexiCoug
8/2/15 6:15pm
These types of things are what really makes it hard for me to believe the Big 12
Polecat
8/2/15 7:03pm
It makes it a little easier to see why we are labeled "hard to work with". At
NewMexiCoug
8/2/15 7:33pm
Yeah I agree. I think Tom Holmoe and hopefully Kevin Worthen have good enough
Polecat
8/2/15 8:03pm
Same here. Hopefully football-only is an option, or we have a landing
NewMexiCoug
8/2/15 6:14pm
That's easy for you and I to say on CB, but the Big XII has to decide.
Polecat
8/2/15 5:16pm
It's unusual because BYU's Sunday play rules are unusual
Modiolus
8/2/15 5:25pm
Yes, but is it "too unusual" for it to actually happen?
Polecat
8/2/15 5:58pm
Football is the only sport they need to expand in

"Football drives the bus"- true in the MW (UH is football-only), true in the B12
Don't Muff It
8/2/15 5:35pm
But would the presidents of OU and Texas and others really make moves similar
Polecat
8/2/15 5:41pm
I think they like the fact that football makes $, while most other sports lose $
Don't Muff It
8/2/15 5:50pm
I'm anxious about the situation, and I want to know now! I need to just let it
Polecat
8/2/15 5:55pm
The thing I wonder is whether Cincy or UCF or whoever else would also go for
dilbert
8/2/15 6:10pm
Big East might love having Cincy back. Or A-10.
Turnpike Lane
8/2/15 6:12pm
Good point. Hopfully something like that could work out.
dilbert
8/2/15 6:22pm
That's why BYU and BSU would be an interesting football-only add
