Wait for the Pac-12 to expand? I think it already did, and guess who didn't get an invite. Those west coast schools will never let BYU in because of its religion.
Or they can stay independent and/or wait for the pac-12 to expand.

Well since we know it's simply impossible for there to be more than 12 teams in a football conference I guess BYU to the big-12 is a done deal.
Why didn't BYU get an invite last time around?
Numbers has nothing to do with it, Mormonism does.
If BYU doesn't accept an invite, it won't have much to do with money unless they are completely black balled. It will have everything to do with them thinking that Texas isn't going to stay, and thus they will enter a dying conference. That could happen, but the $20+ million dollar tv argument is a fantasy.
No idea. Probably involves TV sets and not having as many as Colorado or Utah though.
Stability of the conference is certainly a factor. As for the money, looks like we're at the point of "agree to disagree".
Try again.
Not as many as Utah?
You're really saying this?
Okay, so apparently you guys are in the know. Why didn't BYU get an invite?
You've got to be kidding me. Is this really going over your head?
DMX7 already alluded to a possible reason -- one that I have heard elsewhere -- but guessing they'd bring fewer TVs than Utah seems either completely illogical or disingenuous.
You caught me. I did not spend last summer keeping tabs on BYU conference realignment scenarios.
Still waiting on one of you two to cough up an answer...........
Still waiting for you to read what I told you was already posted....
Brigham Young University is owned and operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (i.e., the Mormons). Have fun getting the good people of Berkeley, San Francisco, Oregon, etc. to sign onto that. Never going to happen.
So BYU didn't get an invite because of bigotry?
You guys are really saying that?
If that's the truth, then yeah, you're right. It was going over my head.
The world's a cold place. I know.
The Pac will not invite secular ins utions to join the conference. It's not just BYU. The same would apply to Baylor or TCU.
The direct link doesn't work, but here is a cached article that could explain some of it.

Stanford is there for a reason (Academics & Athletics). BYU is not there for a reason (Mormon).
Well, there you go. I learned something about the PAC-12 tonight. That certainly does limit BYU's options if they're looking for a bcs conference to join.
Who are you a fan anyways? Play in the SEC and stay in your home state. That's what we'll be selling.
Has anyone said on record that the PAC 12 won't take the likes of BYU, Baylor, and so on because of their religious ties? I'm sure that's the reason, but...
Aren't Stanford and USC private schools?
If they took Utah over BYU isn't BYU being obviously discriminated against? Where was the lawsuit?
Prove it.
