Dealing with the BS of BYU bureaucracy is another issue as well.
BYU apparently works hard to make sure nothing is easy.
We deserve to be left out. And left out we will be. We will cry out as martyrs and shake our fist at the sky. We will laud ourselves for our superior morals. And be left on the trash heap.

Travel is a red herring being raised mostly by W. Virginia. We're closer geographically to most of the Big 12 than W. Virginia is. With divisions it would not be THAT big of a deal, even for non-rev sports. BYU and WVU wouldn't play all that often, and for conference wide events like track, golf, and baseball tournaments, everyone would meet somewhere in the middle anyway. Should be a non-issue. Just an excuse.
The Sunday thing is a big deal in some of the non-rev sports, not really with basketball which hasn't played its tournament on Sunday for several years now. But there has been talk about taking BYU for football only, which I would be ok with.
