Really? I wouldn't mind being in a conference with Oklahoma State, Texas Tech

Yep. If BYU did in fact hesitate it would further prove how out of touch

I can instability meant an opportunity for BYU and they didn't take it.

Not so. TX and OU could easily have paid whatever exit penalty

Just because you are desperate, does not mean BYU is.

Just because BYU is not desperate does not mean they don't look desperate.
