of the BOT on these issues. My own preference would be for BYU to join immediately and help the rest of the conference make things go hard and fast toward a better conference. But that's just me. Sunday play and social issues being the problems that they are, I don't know if that is realistic or not.

Good info in your reply, thanks for sharing it. It sure seemed to me like the "8" were surprised, but I may be reading their response wrong. Maybe it was discussed but not a done deal and they were only surprised that it leaked when it did or that the decision by UT and OU seems made. They didn't seem ready with a response.
