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

Desperation and money makes people look past certain things

Agreed. This is survival mode for the Big12

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

7/22/21 8:32pm

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.

It impacts your posting that’s for sure

Everybodys feaction to the truth is fascinating.

Come on you’re not always offering a true perspective. You know as much

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

Kolipoki

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

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

Im objective. I didnt attend, and so i see things clearly

Backcountry

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!
