Sources: BYU has accepted Big 12 offer.. Other offers in works with Big East teams


Please let them take the Big East teams off our hands.

Off our hands? I'm not sure we'd take WVU at this point even if the big east paid us to

Amended thread title, no confirmed sources yet.

I hope you're right TrueOrange.

And good point milo, my bad.

I believe this is good news for both A&M and the SEC. It shows the Big 12 is not dead (after A&M's departure) and that, at least for the moment, there is a certain amount of stability. That said, I am grateful to be gone from that snake pit and very grateful the SEC accepted us.

Snake pit?

If the Big 12 went after a Big East team (say, Cincinnati) the travel distances would be rather ridiculous.

Interesting... opcorn:

The same Big East that currently has schools in Connecticut and Tampa?

superconferences will suck.

If the twitters can be believed, the Big 12 is getting bigger.

What kind of $$ draw does BYU have? That's a curious alleged pick up.

Why not Houston?

A lot. They have a ND/Penn St size following.

Merchandise sales, from a year ago. Says BYU is #51. Not bad, but not in the same tier as those schools.

If true, good for BYU in the short term.

You don't really see a ton of BYU gear floating around outside of Utah, but there are about 15 million of them, mostly in the west and the ones that follow sports are almost always BYU fans first and foremost.

I hope this is true. BYU will be a good fit for the Big 12, if true.

Texas won't allow Houston, TCU, SMU, etc in. And it's their conference.

 

[badkarma]

Will be suprised if that is true...BYU will be hard to deal with in a conference...B-12 definetly needs dancing partners though

actually, baylor was the one working to cockblock them during the conference's formation.

What issue does Texas have with them?

might be the only one though that won't mind BYU's deal with ESPN
