Keeping them put is even better for the "rivalry " for the Big12. They get a big money, big viewership game without having to take up a conference week or having to feed another hungry taker.
While the rest of the P4 is beating up on the College of the Little Sisters of the Poor, the world watches the Big12 Blue Team smash the trash (red team)
And with Big12 member BYU using the resources the lowly yewts don't have, the conference gets bragging.
This rivalry should be a reason NOT to include the yewts.
If yewts are lurking in the foyer of the Big12 theater, security needs to throw them out.
