BYU would default on an overtime game if it went past midnight. That is a huge concern. And those worrying about it most if adding them are the powerhouse conferences. The entire discussion about them and the AAC is ridiculous for numerous reasons.

I think BYU's gone on record saying that they would finish an OT game that went past midnight.

Nope, "Never on Sunday no matter the consequences".

Nope.

They won't SCHEDULE a game for Sunday.  But if a game scheduled on Saturday runs into Sunday, they will finish it. 

BYU athletics confirmed this due to the 2012 BYU/Utah game.  The game ended at 11:59 when BYU failed to convert what would have been a game tying FG that would have led into a past midnight overtime:

What would have happen if the game went past midnight was a question that perplexed some, including Utes Coach Kyle Whittingham.

“I’m pretty sure that last kick was at 11:59. If it goes overtime, do we have to delay and go on Monday or what?” Whittingham asked during a press conference.

BYU’s athletic department says it will not schedule a football game on Sunday, but if a Saturday game pushes into Sunday they will keep playing.

If UCF gets into the Big 12 without us does that AAC add another Florida school in order to manufacture a rivalry?

Why bother, UF-FSU doesn't care. We'd be all the happier to take out our angst on them, should that trollish scenario ever manifest.

Although his article is 4 years old, it says the same thing yours does about scheduling on Sunday but, additionally, specifically addresses a Saturday game running past midnight where yours doesn't. Unless there's something out there where the BYU ath department rescinded that, they'll still go past Sat midnight.
