I’ll have to find it…I posted it here on cb summer or fall of 2017. It was actually surprising in what it was saying IIRC that BYU had discussions going and it was intriguing. Gonna look for it now…

I wish I could feel bad for the other Big 12 teams....

Agreed. Any support I have for them comes from a place of selfishness for BYU.

I mean... they all allowed OU and Texas to kind of do this to them...

So OU and UT think they are better than the rest of the Big 12....

OU and UT ARE better than the rest of the B12.

I wonder how much that will mean after 5 years in the SEC and no FBall Titles?

Weren't they all the ones who didn't want to expand in 2016 while OU & UT did?

Right call.

They had clauses in their contracts that payouts increased with expansion

They need to pivot now and be forward thinking as a conference. They gone, so adapt or perish.

Hill justified his arrogant, nasty posture towards BYU by claiming he was “doing what was best” for the U. What a tool.

BYU left the MWC to do what is best for BYU. Does that make Holmoe a tool?
