The Pac-12 doesn't want two kinds of schools. They don't want non-research schools (that leaves out Boise State) and they've never wanted schools affiliated with a religion (that leaves out BYU and even Notre Dame). <br /><br />But because BYU was such in a hurry to get out of the MWC and because they didn't want to be left behind of Utah, they went independent which was stupid before it even happened. Now they're stuck as independents because all the conferences are booked up except the Big 12. And I doubt the main schools of the Big 12 want to travel to both West Virginia and Utah. They're stuck.

They need to figure out a way to balance their schedule a little more for they're not traveling to Texas, Virginia, and Wisconsin in the same year or try to get into the Big 12. 49er16https://www.blogger.com/profile/07480858283150569377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2075251516543448143.post-67761243437474598182013-09-05T07:20:53.360-07:002013-09-05T07:20:53.360-07:00BYU fans in my neck of the woods don't want to...BYU fans in my neck of the woods don't want to admit this, but at some point down the road, they're going to have to join a conference again. The big problem with that is they burned a lot of bridges with the MWC when they went independent (which was largely an overreaction on their part when Utah got invited to the PAC) and unless the Big XII considers them, they might end up stuck there.
