Shouldn't BYU be #1 if we're going off of money boost, fanbase, facilities, etc?

Unspoken baggage. Easier not to voice the baggage, unfortunately.

BYU won't be admitted to the club. The limiters in today's social world are too

UNLV and Colo St are Tier 1 Research Universities; Boise, BYU, SDSU aren't

krindorr

2/24/21 5:39pm

You can add UNR to that list of tier 1 research institutions.

Yeah, but Vegas is the 28th largest metro area in the US; Reno is #115

Who are 1-3, I'm guessing Cincy, BSU and UCF?

Which is stupid. Sure, BSU, UCF and Cinci have had recent success

BlueVU

I'd pump the brakes... those other schools don't have baggage like BYU does.

letthewookieewin

2/24/21 9:30am

But they contradict the "research school" line given for BYU. BSU? Research? Yeah right!

Soupie

UCF, Cincy, Houston are Tier 1 Research; but that's not a thing for Big 12 expan

lgbt is a real and growing problem that will probably come up again if this ever gets far

Deleted

2/24/21 11:43am

LGBTs are a problem? Or BYU’s treatment of them is a problem?

run26

2/24/21 12:13pm

the lgbt issue in general, as seen by the iowa state thing last time

This is very true and foundationless...

The one advantage they've had is great coaching

Cincinnati and UCF have location and recruiting access.

Doogal McCougar

No P5 conf is going to touch BSU.

Better PAC12/Big12 options than Boise

Pac12 would rather have less members than take on BYU

I would love to be added with UCF, but geography might make that tough

Geography is the only worry with Cincinnati

Boise isn't P5 bound anytime soon

Neither are we. I have made peace with our independent status

You are right about the second team being the issue in 2016.

Hoss Bonaventure

In 2016, ESPN offered them more money to just stop talking about expansion.

many of you hate the P5 conferences apparently so who cares, right?

Beaten #1 & #2 twice in a row, pounded #3 and #5 in past year, and we're #4?

2/24/21 12:13pm

that's bc just like with Utah, TCU and others, win % is irrelevant to the expansion discussion

byujag

2/24/21 1:33pm

you're saying the UU's and TCU's performance on the field had nothing to do with

run26

2/24/21 1:40pm

that's exactly what I'm saying. Utah was not invited over BYU bc they had a BCS win

byujag

2/24/21 1:45pm

I hear you. But why then were they invited?

kiyoshige

2/24/21 5:20pm

It's all about high profile wins/rankings and end-of-season BCS/NY6 appearances

UU had two undefeated seasons in the 2000s including their "we're #2" parade
