BYU won't join Big East

[Dutch]

Easy to forget about TCU. They change conferences so often. Should be called the Whorned Frogs.

SWC, WAC, CUSA, MWC, BE, BTXII, am i missing anyone?

[Kynd Tulsa Phan]

Tulsa to be announced as a full member Monday













Sun belt member

hahahaha. next week!

[StallionsModelT]

"Done deal. Next week."

[redpony]

May not happen next week as their are still negotiations continuing with UTSA and Ark-PB and they want to make a big splash with their announcement. The conference is really looking forward to the upgrades.

GO PONIES!!!

SMU to join the Lone Star Conference (DII). The chance to play four A&M systems schools is just too good to pass up. Announcement next week.

So mad, I stopped one of their sales people in the neighborhood, who was on the street corner, and cancelled my subscription to the BYU Sports and all Mormon, all day long, TV channels. That'll show them to mess with the BE.

Has a program ever over-played their hand more that BYU? They did with the Big 12 and did it again with the Big East. I don't get it, their Indy schedule is loaded with the NMSU's of the world, how do they expect to ever make it to a BCS game???

BYU is a mystery inside an enigma. Not gonna sweat losing the Mormons especially if they say NO!!! One less game in the Alps and one more game in Paradise. We play Division games(which get you more publicity) in the most populous states and in the most fertile recruiting bases. Klemm can sell Southern Cal. I think BYU made the mistake and so do their Football people

[RGV Pony]

From strictly an SMU perspective (with klemm) sdsu is the perfect add. We have BE $, better exposure as stallion said, and a California opponent built in

[MustangSTATS]

SDSU helps open up more recruiting ground (can't wait to see what Klemm can do with this), but I am sure they would see a game in Dallas and Houston as doing the same thing for them. May stretch the conference further but better to have a school willing to play ball than BYU trying to be a diva.

[Stallion]

BYU has recruited Texas pretty darn well which is another reason they are making a big mistake.

[LHS81]

BYU are going to be known as the "Jenny McCarthy's" of football. They will have to go to Match.com to find a team to play.

If they are being realistic, they don't expect to make a BCS game. It has been many, many years since BYU has had the type of athletes needed to make that kind of run. As an indy, I don't see BYU ever cracking the BCS. As a member of the projected Big East where they'd be competing against Boise, UH, SMU, Cincy, UL, etc. every year, I wouldn't see it either. They just don't have that strong of a program. McMahon, Young, and Detmer graduated a long, long time ago.
