People are completely wrong about what BYU fans should hope to get from this
The goal isn't to get into a P5 conference - there's no such thing after the new playoff system kicks in, and honestly the Big12 was the only hope of that and the Big12 won't be P5 without TX and OU.

The goal isn't to get "P5 conference" TV money either for the same reason - honestly the Big12 won't get that with TX and OU gone, so getting into the depleted Big12 doesn't accomplish that goal.

So honestly the best realistic outcome is stay independent, and have the Pac12 - our main competition for recruits - get crippled. Hope USC and Oregon and maybe a couple of other schools leave, so the Pac12 ends up getting the kind of TV money the AAC gets, and the Big12 is about to get without TX and OU. That would be HUGE for leveling the playing field for BYU.

BYU will never be in the 3 "top tier" conferences (Big10, ACC, SEC), so it's in BYU's best interest to have the PAC12 meltdown. And that's not unrealistic. It's not much more stable or attractive than the Big12 was.
