"But you know where you are in the food chain. We knew who we were in the pecking order." BYU is consistently very self-unaware and typically has an inflated sense of itself. Most accounts that have been leaked out of former negotiations with the Big12 speak of BYU being difficult to work with and rigid. I suppose we can still point to our HD truck and big stadiums and arenas as we compete at a JV level in the major sports.
