If the B12 expands and doesnt pick BYU it's on Tom and Worthen. You're the best

Not true. It never got nearly far enough along for such a scenario.

Nobody negotiated anything with the B12 in 2011. That was the Big East who said

You have a friend in the BIG 12 offices!! Is this friend still there?

Still there and working everyday - involved in all meetings and discussions. Great thing is he has zero ties to BYU

The bigotry theory doesn't jive well with the "money is all that matters" theory

If BYU is added to B12, Tom and Worthen deserve incredible credit.

It was a different landscape in 2011 but those events may have poisoned the B12 long term. Back then

It isn't that black or white. Or at least we'll never know if it is or not.

Definitely the fault of Worthen and Holmoe that BYU is owned by the LDS Church.

It's relative. Indy better than MWC. Nobody thinks Indy better than B12.

CosmoK

no. It is on Mormons being a peculiar people and Big 12/pac 12 being bigots.
