Default Any thoughts from folks about this article?

It kind of shoots down the belief that BYU was the choice for Big 12 expansion.

Do not steal from me one more reason to detest Ann Richards.

The Big 8 must have have had their own thoughts about expansion, and maybe they considered BYU, but certainly no evidence for tha tin the article. Sounds like they wanted only A&M and UT.

That's what I got out of it as well. That they wanted A&M and UT but ended up taking Baylor and Tech to get who they really wanted.

I have no expectation of BYU getting into the PAC-10 or Big 12 anytime in the next 20 years.

I agree and will add Utah to the list of teams that won't get into a BCS conference. Until there are 10M+ tv sets along the Wasatch Front, they don't want either team.

I thought common sense was what shot down the belief that BYU was the choice for Big 12 expansion.
