Here's another podcast... Dave Ubben on BYU/B12 with two reporters from the SL Trib. I only listened the first ~10 minutes... They (the SL guys) are saying that after the last round of realignment BYU found out independence is difficult. Now they would be more accommodating towards the Big12 on things like BYU TV and other things that made them "difficult" in the past. But Sunday play wouldn't be one of those things. Possible questions about BYU's ESPN deal which is slated to end in 2018.
