What a crap article. If you read it carefully, he doesn't have anything new from the last time he reported his source's insight. Basically he's just saying, "hey, remember what I wrote three weeks ago?" Then he assumes that the instability demonstrated by the BigXII in the interim haven't made the trustees rethink their initial decision.

It's just a "remember me" retread.

The landscape is littered with shifting thoughts, opinions, and leaks...but from ESPN and CBS, I am guessing the offer given to BYU before OU's wandering eye would still stand.

Says BYU joining Big12 would've been announced immediately after aTm departure but put on hold because of Oklahoma's Pac12 inquiry. Says Board of Trustees has granted permission for all athletics to join Big12. Also says that it could happen as soon as within a few days.

This is consistent with what some of the folks on this board with a feel for these things have had to say. This is the best case scenario for BYU. If this does not happen, then independence without super conferences is the middle ground scenario.

Worst case scenario is independence with super conferences. Sounds like the NCAA persuaded the PAC-12 out of superconferencing. Still best to piped in now with a big time conference.

Last time I had an inside source, I needed therapy to make the voices go away....

My inside source is inside your insider's source's brain.

I have an inside source that says that he is the ONLY inside source that has any real knowledge of the conference expansion situation.

My source further says that some of those claiming they have inside sources may be making up their inside sources and may not actually have an inside source.

Finally, my inside source believes anyone who thinks they can believe inside sources, should probably stop, since every other inside source likely isn't all that inside.

My inside source can beat up your inside source.

Deep Shades of Blue is about as unreliable as sources get. You can find anything and everything on DSB.

Either way, I hope we accept an invite ASAP.

No Sunday play.

BYUtv & ESPN television rights.

Must have both to make it palatable. Just makes me wonder if the Big XII schools are going to insist that school networks share revenue or something like that (LHN, I'm looking at you in particular). If so, how would that affect the BYUtv adventure?

Am I the only one who still thinks that byu will get screwed over somehow? (or will screw themselves over - and all of us)

I agree with you - mostly - nearly all. The thing that makes me nervous about remaining Independent (which I love) is our last 2 losses. Texas was respectable - thought we should have won. Yewtah? Not only humiliating - but as an Independent - death. As a member of the Big 12, I don't think the loss affects us as much - especially recruiting wise. We are still recruiting for a "Big Stage." It has helped Yewtah immensely to recruit to the PAC 12 stage.

If we are invited to the Big 12, with reservations - I would join.
