Actively work to keep BYU out? Huh? Where do you see that?

Is it called “Seeds of Betrayal?”

Why would you be under the assumption Utah cares about BYU?

Eh.I don't think many people were under the delusion that UofU would reciprocate

I agree, I just wanted to remind the Yewts of their treasonous behavior

Again, BYU was never taking any such stance:

Your point about others' involvement is important...

BYU actively tried to leave Utah behind and couldn't.

Not that there was anything wrong with BYU doing so; BYU was and should have

Not true. Utah bent over backwards to get BYU in the WAC in 1962. And every

Well that's on BYU then not Utah, they did it the right way

Worse than that - they leveraged their plan for BYU, TCU, BSU, yew P5 inclusion

I know this is from a Utah perspective but zero mention of BYU in the process

Step 1: Ignore logical thought. Step 2: Invite Utah.

A quick scan of the article tells me the P12 kind of blew it.

Great point

That scenario played out pretty publicly...

I think your memory is correct, but I think what made it seem like a long shot

Possible. As you said, it's been a while and my timeline could be fuzzy.

But could USC, Oregon, or UCLA live with that imbalance?

Obviously not as the option was never on the table.

To get OU and UT you take whoever you need to.

This NYT article seems to support that scenario.

The takeaway from this piece is how far apart the PAC and UT were

They were never getting OU without OSU.

And then the PAC declined the pair when they applied to join.
