Message: [QUOTE="brasssbonanzaa, post: 1586533, member: 794"] And BYU has a national following, brings in lots of potential cable boxes across the country, good academics, and competitively is good but not world-beaters. Which brings me back to my initial question, why were they left on the table in favor of a less-successful, lower-rated academic school that is a flagship, but one that outside of Colorado has very little following? I'm only posing it from the perspective of if you're the B12 doing due diligence, these are the things you have to consider. If those within the B12 see BYU as a strong addition - competitive football team, national brand name, good academics - the question must be asked why have they not been snatched up for so long? We know why UConn is on the table - the football team has the perception of being terrible. What's going on behind the scenes at BYU that has turned others off? [/QUOTE]
