McMurphy: BYU and AAC previously negotiated on BYU membership

Is that translation for "BYU is difficult to work with?"

TNT

6/24/19 12:06pm

If you're anti-BYU. In reality, it means BYU has options. Doesn't have to

I think it’s translation for BYU doesn’t want to lose money by joining a conference

TCuz

6/24/19 12:10pm

They’d prefer to have more money than more wins. Makes sense...

Traveshamockery

6/24/19 1:00pm

To a degree, sure. Wins for the sake of wins are pointless.

TCuz

6/24/19 1:09pm

At least 2/3 of P5 schools agree.

If you want more wins move to D2!

StalwartBraveTrue

6/24/19 3:19pm

By your logic, why not join a crappy conference to get easy wins!

Machiavelli

6/24/19 3:24pm

So you want 7-5 as an independent or 10-2 in a crappy conference

Traveshamockery

6/24/19 7:06pm

And now your G5 ESPN doesn’t want you and you now suck

Independence > crappy conference 100% of the time

Machiavelli

That’s fine. Let’s talk on 9/22. Hopefully I’m wrong.

Traveshamockery

6/24/19 11:18pm

Seriously? So what’s so wrong about dominating FCS?

StalwartBraveTrue

6/25/19 11:05am

Ugh. Please stop with this counter. It’s just silly.

It’s no more silly than trading status and opportunity for

BYU already subsidized multiple conferences and conference members.

Which included utah for 30 years....

The "difficult to work with" quote came directly from Big East admin, not Big 12

boscatar

6/24/19 12:13pm

At that time the Big East was sooooo shaky. BYU was right to be hesitant...

Sometimes "difficult to work with" simply means "won't do exactly what I want"

SoCalCoug

Totally agree. Conferences are not going to give the upper hand to a “BYU”.

FairWeather-L.I.T.S.

6/24/19 1:35pm

This is probable the correct translation.

baldcougar

6/24/19 1:37pm

It translates into "can you match what we can do for ourselves on our own? No? Then no thanks."

That "wanted to be treated differently from other members" quot was a sneaky jab

The agenda and framing against BYU has many angles and many foes

Punk Philosopher

BYU should learn from Utah getting into P12, don't make demands

jackryanslc

6/24/19 12:55pm

LoL. This is the AAC we are talking about, not the pac-12

LiveCoug

6/24/19 1:08pm

Has Utah ever been in a position to demand?

FairWeather-L.I.T.S.

6/24/19 1:19pm

Utah to the PAC-12 = big revenue boost. BYU to AAC = big loss in revenue.

Machiavelli

Uhhh

That is the same reason the BIG12 didn't take BYU. Clearly BYU was the

You can't compare negotiations with B12 and AAC to each other

Good negotiating from BYU for once. BYU rejected a bad offer.

YIsForBrigham

6/24/19 1:09pm

BYU had a strong position for negotation, they should have been asking for more

Hill4Heisman

6/24/19 3:10pm

I'm pretty sure it's all about rebroadcasting rights

chazen

6/24/19 3:43pm

That was my interpretation too. Not necessarily about wanting more money.

Eddie

BYU deserves more from AAC, walking away was right move.

Dr MoBYU

6/24/19 4:33pm

Umm, yeah, back when BSU and SDSU also "joined" the Big East (AAC)
