BYU rumors

[SANJAY]

BYU is a big enough name that if they get into a BCS conference their recruiting should get significantly better. They could be a really good team down the road with Boise State

How much better can it get? With their morality code and the requirement that all students adhere to it I think most upper tier athletes will not want to play there absent religious reasons. BCS or not.

Looks like they'd like to announce in December if they can get BYU on board, but they're willing to wait until early next year. Guys - this could take a while, but if we can land BYU, I think it might be worth it. Also interesting, it apears that the opportunity to join as full members may come later, even if membership is initially for football only. I suppose once you have a well-populated west division, they can travel among each other enough.

the Big East is willing to wait to get an answer from BYU. But nobody is holding a gun to anybody's head saying they need to know tomorrow. If things are progressing well, if they let it go into January, BYU may be more apt to say yes. I do believe there is a finite period here. The Big East has to have a new contract negotiated over the summer. They need their schools in place by February or March

i still think it's a pipe dream to even mention ND, but that's just me.

Agree about ND being a pipe dream, but I do hope that they could be helpful in the next television negotiaition and try to help the league land a deal with NBC Sports.
