nothing to do with it. If it did, the Big 12 would've been talking with Army. It's all about the institution and the money the generate. TCU (MWC member) had no problem getting it done after the BYU/B12 talks stalled.

Being a good AD really comes down to a couple decisions

Kalani isn’t a whiff. So far a single. Hope he gets extra bases this year.

A single, strike out, and another single.

9 wins is a double. 10 a triple. Any above an HR. So double, SO, single.

9 is a double? CB has very unrealistic expectations

A strike out? He hit into a triple play.

The problem there is the coaching pool. It is waaay too tiny.

So true. The BYU AD has at least one hand tied behind his back at all times.

I think Tom gets to pick the coach but still has to get some level of approval

Not only with coaching hires but other decisions

I’m pretty sure we’d be further behind had we stayed in the MWC. Further, Holmoe

Wrong. If BYU had stayed, they’d have told the Big 12 “where

That hurts too much to even consider

I hadn't thought about that. Thanks for the gut punch.

This. The knee jerk reaction to Utahs invite to the P12 was his undoing

You assume the Big XII would have extended an offer.

Everyone knows offers in these situations only get extended when

The flaw in your thinking is you still think it would have been Tom Holmoe's

The university President, the BOT. The BOT trumps all.

In the words of Rhondo Fehlberg, the BYU AD has all the responsibility and none

Sure. You assume we would have reached that point absent independence. I haven’t

How did you jump to that conclusion of what I am thinking? I think the Big XII

So, BYU would've had the same demands if it didn't go independent?

You don't know what demands BYU had. That's my point. The only things you
