Local sports talk suggesting that BYU needs to go to the Big 12 and beg, even offering football only an a reduced share. Of course the only positive for the B12 they can come up is getting closer to having a champ game.

To be honest, I think I'd rather have 9 core members and BYU as football only than a full WVU partnership at this point.

Drop WVU, add CSU UNM and BYU.

Boom, 12 team southwest conference.

I was going to post about BYU's bad spot, by its not as bad as I thought. They have a decent set of games scheduled the next 4 seasons. They won't ever play in a CFP bowl, but their bowl set ups in Miami and San Diego aren't bad spots. They still get to play regional schools like Boise, UNLV, Nevada, and Utah State while usually throwing in 2 of Utah, Arizona, Cal or another PAC team (have future agreements with USC, Stanford, and Arizona St). They're perfect for teams from conferences with 9 games who need a decent "name" school that can put them on ESPN for the return game. They also have future series scheduled with Wisconsin, Hawaii, UConn, UCF, and ECU.

BYU doesn't need the Big12, unless they think they'll earn the Sugar Bowl bid every 4-5 years. The way their scheduling is going, they'll easily be able set up schedules of 2-3 PAC, 4-5 MW, 1-2 BigTen/Big12, 1-2 AAC, and 2-3 CUSA/SunBelt/MAC teams. That's not a bad set up and better for them than the Big12, especially for a school that wants to play regional schools and throw in a couple givemes like MTSU.

Panjandrum · « **Reply #25410 on:** May 16, 2014, 02:21:01 PM »

I've actually been a proponent of a scheduling alliance with them to help bump up our SOS.

I'd like to see five teams play them every year, and we just rotate, home/away, every couple years.

That way, every team would play them, home and away, once (respectively) in a four year span.

And, to be honest, if it improved the monetary situation, I wouldn't mind having them in a bowl alliance, either, because like last year, I think most seasons we're going to have trouble filling out the contracted allotment.

The typical rumor people are saying BYU is sending someone to OKC this week for talks.

Still need to get that ball rolling by rumoring the crap out of it.

Someone needs to get on their boards and let me know how adored they would be in the Big XII.

CyberToothCat · « **Reply #25414 on:** May 18, 2014, 10:05:25 AM »

Big Ten number one in total revenue for the year, and likely number one in avg distribution per team for the year. When will Big 12 numbers come out?

Most on Cougarboard wish they had joined a couple years ago when they had the chance. I wouldn't mind having them as a football only member, but nothing more.

I mean if we have to add a championship game. I wouldn't mind adding BYU as a football only plus one full time. 11 isn't bad for sports besides football. Maybe round robin bball with 20 game conference schedule? Idk if that's too many.

I agree. BYU is so weird. If they were a high-major in either major sport I could get past their weirdness but that's not the case. NO THANKS.

BYU's sole play is the TV factor. 8 or 9 million Mormons and near an area that's seen and seeing tremendous population growth.

The SLC-Provo-Orem Combined Statistical Area is 2.3 million people.

Still Weird tho.

I could prolly get on board with BYU if our TV people said they will bring a butt ton of money. Otherwise, nope.
