the Big12 may be desperate. I’d also question your take that BYU has proven to be difficult in the past. Very few on this board would actually know if that hearsay is true or not.

BYU would be the last of that group to get an invite. Others are ahead of us too. It’s unjust but so is CFB

Worrying about a buyout would be very short sighted. I doubt that’s any sort of an advantage.

True, but it is another excuse avoided

Sunday play the bigger issue, but I tend to agree with the conclusion that BYU

BDAWG

7/22/21 5:51pm

Sunday play is an issue for, like, women’s tennis. I think they work it out.

mobomanjoe

7/22/21 5:54pm

Start with Men's B-Ball and go from there.

BDAWG

7/22/21 6:03pm

So you think it’s a dealbreaker? Those Sunday afternoon tv ratings?

mobomanjoe

7/22/21 6:21pm

Possibly...

BDAWG

7/22/21 6:35pm

No, money is in football, and thats never on sundays. No other tv ratings matter

here's to hoping

Everybody said the same thing in '10 and '16

Backcountry

7/22/21 8:55pm

And they are probably right. I doubt that was the deal breaker either time.

Everybodys feaction to the truth is fascinating.

chitownboy

Sunday play is the biggest reason BYU won’t get an invite

Kolipoki

7/22/21 6:54pm

But why? I’m serious. Nobody plays football on Sunday. Basketball

mobomanjoe

7/22/21 7:05pm

Yes it is all the other Nonfootball sports that make no Sunday play a huge issue

Kolipoki

7/22/21 7:30pm

Football only invite

ColonelMustard

7/23/21 12:09am

hope so, would significantly increase likelihood of invite IMO

I agree, for reasons that have been discussed ad nauseum.

I’ve wondered the same thing. Posts some fairly consistent slams on BYU

Yep because if you attended you can’t see things clearly

What I love about that idea is that the PAC12 is relegated to begging for table scraps, too. They're P5? Phtt!
