[QUOTE="WVUALLEN, post: 131761329, member: 1112294"] WVU played BYU 5 years ago. It's been the only game between the 2 schools. Conference has to see to BYU set of rules and regulations for them to join. No reason for the remaining teams to listen to an overinflated ND wannabees of BYU. BYU has wanted to be member of Big 12 for years and always turned down. Letting them in now shows how desperate these teams would be. Something you didn't know: Big 12 had already started to consider the possibility of adding UCF, Houston, Cincinnati and/or BYU to the league. According to ESPN, even if Texas and Oklahoma didn’t leave the Big 12, the league is willing to consider expansion. Now that Texas and OU are leaving speculation is the following would be members. [B]BYU[/B], Boise State, Cincinnati, Memphis, UCF and SMU. Before knowing the exit was coming: Conference officials scratched the surface on discussions of what the Big 12 might do and one source said that included looking into whether there were other Power 5 programs that might want to join, or if schools like UCF, Houston, Cincinnati or BYU might make good additions. There was some appetite in the meeting for possibly adding two teams even before OU and Texas decided to leave. None of those conversations gained significant traction though. [/QUOTE]
