Tom Holmoe, BYU's Athletic Director, gave an update on BYU.
From his update:
"There is open communication but nothing is imminent with the Big 12 conference."
“Conference affiliation and realignment is something that I think is going to be on-going,” Holmoe said. “Is it done? Is it dormant? I don’t know how to describe it. There are obviously still conferences that are jockeying.
“I need to be able keep open discussion with key friends of mine and people in conferences to find out where they are at and what they are doing. That communication continues but I can’t say that it has changed from how it has been for awhile. We continue to have discussions but to say they are earth-shattering would be wrong.”
Holmoe talked about how even though the rumors have calmed down, there is always a possibility things will change quickly.
“It’s important for me to get the information I need to lead BYU athletics forward to where we want to be,” he explained. “You know that there is potential, scenarios that everyone has talked about from the doomsday where we are left out to where we are in the best conference in America and everything in between
“We have a contingency plan for every one of those scenarios. In order to have those, you have to reshape them every time something new comes up. For every action, there is a reaction and that is how we try to play it.”
BYU and The Big 12
Note: Why is this important to UofL? We need a 12th. I continue to believe that The Big 12 will add two and neither will be from The ACC. Perhaps the door is open for UC.
