2011 and 2014 are calling and want their hubris back.

BYU doesn't have that kind of "freedom"this time around. Also, the CFP situation is changing and favors those in a conference.

Terrible situation for us if B12’s first move is to invite BYU + others.

All scheduling contracts have an out clause for joining a P5. Not a problem.

Soupie

7/26/21 8:48am

That’s not the point.

DirtyWater

7/26/21 8:48am

I think byu will be able to reschedule most of their games if they were to back

SUAVO

The big12 leftovers will seek to jump to other conferences first.

Mister P

7/26/21 8:49am

Agreed this will happen but may take a while and not sure how many big 12 teams

johnnybyu

7/26/21 8:51am

And I think that’s his point; we would need some major reassurances that certain

If no other P5s take them, that is your assurance they'll stay.

Mister P

7/26/21 8:54am

Breakup of Big12, tons of schedules nationwide will be reworked. Even Indy BYU

They'll try everything first, including adding other P5 teams.

CosmoK

7/26/21 8:51am

True. I didn't mention that because that is a looooong shot.

Mister P

7/26/21 8:55am

That is why the Big 12 should have been smart and added teams like BYU last time

happyhiker

7/26/21 9:35am

If they'd done it last time (2010/11) it would have meant the end of the Big 12

krindorr

7/26/21 9:44am

2015 or so was what I meant by last time.

happyhiker

7/26/21 9:52am

Got it; then, yeah, I agree

krindorr

7/26/21 10:02am

IMO, BYU should join a conference for even-money. Indy has run its course.

CosmoK

7/26/21 8:50am

Agreed 100%, Ideally that's P5, but even the AAC should meet that criteria now

There will be some conference left and it should be better than the AAC. BYU

I agree this as the most likely scenario

holyyewtbatman

7/26/21 9:07am

You do know that this is part of the reason why we got left out in 2011, right?

dYrtbYkerYder

7/26/21 8:51am

Yes. Yes I do. And were there many, many unhappy Cougar fans?

DirtyWater

7/26/21 8:54am

Are you new here? Yes, BYU fans were very upset when we botched Big 12 expansion

dYrtbYkerYder

7/26/21 8:55am

So you learned nothing from 2011?

DirtyWater

7/26/21 8:59am

The lesson to learn from 2011 is to say yes and figure out the details later.

dYrtbYkerYder

7/26/21 9:03am

Ok. So you think the BOT are the ones who should have learned from 2011. Got it

DirtyWater

7/26/21 3:51pm

Would you rather be TCU right now (and for the last 10 years) or BYU?

Unsubstantiated claims directly contradicting what anyone in the know has said

We literally just finished a season that holmoe made up on the fly.

Nope, you join right away.

Honest truth, BYU isn’t getting ANY invite.

Romex

7/26/21 8:58am

Sources?

SUAVO

7/26/21 9:05am

I’m not delusional

Romex

7/26/21 9:09am

What are your sources for that claim?

SUAVO

7/26/21 10:39am

A fair prediction. But I think *SOMETHING* (MWC, AAC) will be available.

CosmoK

7/26/21 9:19am

You can just fall back to a conference that might have already replaced you?

Only assurance needed is the conference champion of BYU's league makes the CFP.
