Remember a year ago Dan Beebe talked about BYU's liabilities in 2010
Nothing groundbreaking... He basically said that the revenue benefits wouldn't have been worth the trouble of geography, Sunday play, and this interesting tidbit:

“Yeah, I don’t know. Independence is so tough to get access to probably what BYU would like because College Football Playoff or major bowl opportunities,” Beebe said. “I admire that they stick to their values and stick to what they really are about as an overall institution. I think that’s some the rest of college athletics could take a note of is how BYU is going to not compromise its principles for the sake of more notoriety in athletics, perhaps more revenue, you know any of those kinds of things.”

It sounds to me like he's implying that BYU would have to compromise its principles (make your own guess what those are) for "notoriety in athletics, perhaps more revenue, you know any of those kinds of things". The principles landscape has only gotten more difficult for BYU, so even less chance there would be an invite now.
