agree that there don't appear to be better options, but i also believe there are schools in this conference who see themselves as more attractive market commodities than they see their current and future conference brethren
they will not be truly committed until they have been shown there are no better options
time to burn the boats
Same thing could be said about us and how some of us view our attractiveness compared to our peers. Yet here we are. I’m being optimistic but I truly feel a sense of stability.
I’ll take my chances that our current conference leadership will do right by our membership

I'd trade them for SMU.
Seriously, can we please trade those dorks for Utah? Pretty please?

PROVO — The reshaped Big 12 begins in one month, when the conference officially expands by four and continues the following year, at which time the two brand names leave.
Oklahoma and Texas have been the big dogs dating back to when much of the old Southwest Conference joined the Big 12 in 1996. None of the newbies — BYU, Cincinnati, Central Florida and Houston — nor any of the eight holdovers can match the star power and recognition of the two programs that will join the Southeastern Conference in summer 2024....

Hopefully, BYU will assimilate into the Big 12 and not rock the
boat as they have occasionally been known to do…..

No secret that every current and incoming member would happily take the call and accept a lifeline if one was thrown from the SEC or BIG today.
But stability-wise, the biggest thing from here forward is there’s no brand powerful enough left to initiate that call.
IMO, this is about as stable as this conference is ever going to be - with or without BYU - at least until the next major upheaval when a lucky few possibly get the call.

I am already sick of these idiot Zoobs being in the same conference with us again. Threads like this are going to be commonplace. We need to get the Big 12 chancellors / Presidents together and boot BYU out.
As far as I am concerned BYU is THE (insert reproductive or solid waste evacuation body part) school.

We had to invite someone with an inflated ego to replace Texas.

A few years of power five recruiting? What non-Mormon athlete with choices wants to go there?
A college experience without sex, caffeine, or alcohol? I’m sure athletes will be jumping to go there in a few years. Hahahahaha

I do agree that BYU is a positive addition and the best of the four newbies from a "brand" perspective.
I don't think there's anyone who isn't a Mormon that thinks BYU will be the best brand in the Big 12 after OU and Texas leave. They have a unique and large following of people who probably wouldn't otherwise give two [ Finebaum ]s about college football but among actual college sports fans nationally they are about as big of a brand as Iowa St or Kansas St. Which is certainly good but not top of the conference.
If they were that big of a brand then they would've already been in a P5 conference long ago.
