The problem is BYU may not have anywhere to go. The Pac-12 is unlikely to expand beyond its current membership and already has Utah covered with BYU rival Utah. The Big 12 would make the most sense, geographically at least, but the conference has stood firm on the idea of not looking to expand. Also, the Big 12 has suggested if it expands, it would look east (think Cincinnati, UCF). Without the Big 12 providing a landing spot, BYU’s most likely scenario may end up crawling back to the Mountain West Conference, but this is not considered a power conference. BYU is going to have to convince the Big 12 to accept them, and we have been down this road so many times to know what the chances are of this happening. If anything, the Big 12 may have to work out a Notre Dame-ACC sort of partnership, which seems to have much more of a realistic chance of happening if anything.
The Pac 12 does not want them The Big 12 does not want them The SEC does not want them The Big 10 does not want them The ACC does not want them
Utah can thank their lucky stars for the Pac 12 invite. They made out like a bandit

How much money would BYU be willing to donate to the Conference? Although it may be an unorthodox approach, perhaps college athletics has a price point to which a BYU option might seem attractive.
If they could join a league with Texas and Baylor, then Mormon politics would not be a stumbling block.

Donate? They still owe the Red Cross but you know you can buy anything in this world for money, right? Let's go shopping.

What makes you think it's fitting for the Terrestrial Forum?
