Said the Y anticipates major shifts to occur before the season's end and thus all potential opponents are nervous about any future agreements. Said even the WAC deals could be called off.

Too many possibilities at play that could have caused this scheduling disruption. TA&M leaves to SEC, then Texas goes to P16 so Texas deal gets canceled. ND joins a conference and cancels out on us. BYU joins B12. Texas/USC/BYUND go Indy and agree to all play each other. WAC crumbles. WAC adds two other schools BYU would rather schedule over SJSU/NMSU etc. P16 takes the Y. Your guess is as good as mine.
