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

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

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

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

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

At least 2/3 of P5 schools agree.

If you want more wins move to D2!

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

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

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

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

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

BYU already subsidized multiple conferences and conference members.

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

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"

This is probable the correct translation.
baldcougar

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

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

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?

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

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

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

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

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