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

BYU is the last of two that I posted?

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

How is that not an advantage?

Boise State might be in the picture as well.

Nobody is inviting an institution with the perceived bigotry and academic

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.

here's to hoping

It wont impact my mood one way or another

Backcountry

7/22/21 10:23pm

It impacts your posting that’s for sure

chitownboy

Everybodys feaction to the truth is fascinating.

Backcountry

7/23/21 7:20am

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

chitownboy

7/23/21 7:45am

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

7/23/21 12:53am

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

I think Sunday play is absolutely the biggest problem with adding BYU

Would love to see that. But I'm very confident BYU is not an option for the BIG

Honest question are you a BYU fan?

Thats not an honest question.

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

7/22/21 7:44pm

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

Backcountry

7/22/21 7:48pm

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

chitownboy

7/22/21 9:11pm

Unfortunately, I think you are correct

zerome4sooners

Backcountry is a major troll. Get a life, dude.

Do you really interpret that as trolling? It's a factual statement.

Maybe Pac12 poaches the left over Big12 teams

kotacoug

7/22/21 5:55pm

Very possible, but also possible that the B10 poaches the PAC. s

Nat Gas Man

7/22/21 6:00pm

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

You think fans in OK and TX want to be ruled by the West coast?

UT and OU are not going anywhere & BYU will never get an invite even if they did

What about Nebraska? They seem unhappy and this would be a great excuse to

I see the Big 12 either disbanding or becoming the newest member of the G6.
