Message: [QUOTE="amory, post: 1591597, member: 2935"] The more I've thought about it, the less I can see BYU being a truly viable option if they end up expanding. They're the best football candidate, and they bring the big mormon audience. Fair enough. But beyond having to shuffle all the scheduling around to accommodate their "no sundays" thing, I don't see the Big 12 expanding westward. Let's say they decide to invite Cincy and BYU. Now they've got a conference spanning from West Virginia to Utah. Some 2,000 miles. And BYU then becomes an anchor out west when possible future expansion candidates are almost exclusively in the east, regardless of whether they come from the AAC or if the pipe dream of the ACC falling apart comes to fruition. Just seems short sighted and impractical to me. [/QUOTE]
