I do think BYU wants to hold out until the next round of expansion to see where the chips fall...if they are still on the outside looking in, then I could see them joining the AAC with some other schools to form a best of the rest conference.

certainly better than what going back tothe MWC would offer.

If P5 is truly out of the question, this is what I would like to see as well.
