Yikes. This doesn't sound good.

They should be forced to change their name if they don't have 12 teams.

spugeddy24

1/11/16 3:25pm

That'll show 'em.

Backcountry

I know, right.

Funny how the two "Big" conferences can't count.

The Pac changed their name. How hard can it be?

spugeddy24

1/11/16 3:27pm

There wasn't already another conference called the Pac 12

Tricky

1/11/16 3:29pm

Regardless. Can't be that hard to think of another name

spugeddy24

Big 10 didn't...

Do yourself a favor and accept that BYU will never be P5.

Backcountry

1/11/16 3:25pm

it's sports. not a matter of life or death. Relax and live a little.

Bostonblue

1/11/16 3:27pm

I did. That's what I'm recommending you do.

Backcountry

1/11/16 3:28pm

not hoping for anything sounds like a pretty crappy way to live.

Bostonblue

1/11/16 3:33pm

I hoped the last time around. Then I realized BYU is not a realistic P5 option.

Backcountry

1/11/16 4:27pm

you lie. Your past posts show that you still care about this. So just own it.

Bostonblue

1/11/16 4:33pm

I care. And I would be thrilled with an invite. But it flat out isn't going

Backcountry

1/11/16 4:35pm

you're trying hard not to be butt hurt, but you will be. Again, just own it.

At least BYU has independence to fall on, our future FB schedules look awesome.

Station42

1/11/16 3:36pm

Yeah. The future is bright regardless

I'd like to see BYU re-up games with the Big 12 candidates

Plus, our Men's bball schedule would be full of UConn, Cincinnati, SMU, Temple,

One more punch to the gut of BYU fans this week

I guess I don't know what 12-team-Conferences dislike. . .

CosmoK

1/11/16 3:26pm

I think they don't like the scenario where they could pick two teams that based solely on how they are ranked

TrueUte

1/11/16 3:48pm

Wait and see. This is all talk until there is a vote, and even after it's all talk until one or more schools get invited

TaiJuan

So Oklahoma and OSU would've played a second time? Stupid. Won't pass IMO.

coug203

1/11/16 3:27pm

if the SEC or Pac or B!G allow them to do that, they're idiots.

johnnycarson

1/11/16 3:27pm

But allowing the top 2 teams from Big 12 to play in title game was B1G's concern

RenoCoug

1/11/16 3:27pm

agreed. nobody wants to let them pick the teams. this won't pass.

johnnycarson

1/11/16 3:27pm

The BIG was also concerned that this was what the ACC wanted to do.

Everyman

1/11/16 3:28pm

Exactly. I don't see how the "compromise" is actually a compromise

Harrison0Yfan

1/11/16 3:57pm

That doesn't make any sense. Why would you let a conference put their

And with a round-robin format, the championship game will always be a rematch

who's that Provo All-star in the photo wearing a green/white shirt to the game?

There is 0 reason to ever be optimistic. This doesn't change that.

I will ask again, is this your opinion or is this based on non-public information.

TaiJuan

1/11/16 3:32pm

Combination of speculation/information.

jkccoug

1/11/16 3:35pm

Which parts are which?

TaiJuan

I've said what I will say.

Don't hang on every word of what "sources" are saying

whoneedscorners?

Vote is on Wednesday, no? See link.

Bostonblue

People are saying Wednesday but I thought the 15th was the date?

I don't see how this "amendment to the amendment" changes anything.

Bostonblue

I don't see ACC agreeing to it. That's my guess. Posturing.

MMCougIII

1/11/16 4:14pm

I agree. I don't understand why the other conferences would want to help

That's not a "compromise". Why do they keep using that term?
