It has been widely rumored/reported that BYUs refusal to play on Sunday is a major stumbling block for the B12. I don't understand that. It's not like they just made it up. It is an integral part of their religious beliefs. Other conferences have accommodated not playing on Sunday. The NCAA even accommodates teams not playing on Sunday. Is it really a big deal if 1 or 2 (#2 being the BYU opponent) teams don't play on Sunday? Is this really an issue for the B12 or is it the issue that seems to get the most publicity?

It has been rumored/reported that BYUs church affiliation would keep them from becoming a member of the PAC. BYUs affiliation has not helped them dominate the WAC or MWC. Why would it keep them out of the PAC? Honestly, I think they would be a mid-tier team in the PAC or B12. I know the PAC is mostly public schools but this seems a bit excessive.
