It's about media and viewer numbers, not on-field performance. BYU is among

the top two or three brands in the Big 12 in terms of following, that's not disputable. A P5 level program that should have been recognized as such, and was in some cases, decades ago.

So no, BYU is not going to be included in the garbage teams by those who care about the money/viewership first (obviously the PAC cares about other things more, and that's why they are struggling).

I think it'd be a strategic mistake for the Big 12 to invite any non-P5 teams.

Do any of those ACC teams want to tip off a home game at 11pm EST?

Nope, but they'll help the Big 12 dominate the time zones and markets that are

I’d rather not have those schools. We don’t need basketball to be any more

BIG12 is not going to add anyone without a thumbs up from TV partners

Amen. UH and UCF already look like mistakes given the instability of the PAC

If the ACC collapses, it's b/c SEC/Big Ten went to 20 or more teams

It’s all about consolidation. The big 12 should be doing the same. Get the best of the pac and ACC and dump the

I'm not saying we aren't...but the perception of many is that we are a G5 add

I disagree. They see BYU as something in between

My problem with that statement is that there are plenty of current P5 teams that should not be P5 teams while there are
