BYU Official Statement coming later today

[hawkwing]

So says AJeffreyCall on twitter.

I wonder what it will say.

[Y 4 Ever]

Well...if it was accepting a Big 12 invite...they would call a press conference.

Because its a "statement"...I'm assuming it's not good news for BYU going to the Big 12.

I posted something at the same time... well.. technically a minute later... You can delete that one or combine it.. or lock it.. or whatever...

[CannonCougar85]

I'm expecting it to say something like "BYU is happy with Independence but will always have an eye on the ever changing landscape of college football."

[Lawboy]

I suspect the statement will be that a press conference will be tomorrow with no other details.

I suspect the statement will be that a press conference will be tomorrow with no other details.

My guess is that you don't announce you are going to make a statement later in the day just to make the statement that you will make a statement the next day.

My guess is it's a "stay pat" statement. If it was "we're in," the Big XII would've announced the invite by now.

"Free Bus Passes for Students Are Coming Back"

[bball]

I can't imagine a scenario in which BYU would depart from independence before even giving it an honest try. I think BYU independence is here to stay, whether the Big-12, Pac-12 or anybody else invites us. And to be honest, I think independence for BYU will work better than it does for ND, Army or Navy.

[Lawboy]

No way it works better than ND. We are not ND, never will be. Look at their schedule and annual games and rivalries, look at ours. Look at their TV deal, look at ours. Look at their BCS options--look at ours. We in no way compare.
