I only saw bits and pieces of the BYU game last night, because I was watching the RNC last night. Did the ESPN announcers talk about BYU possibly joining the new Big East?

Why would they? That would be a positive comment. ESPN isn't going to do anything for the NBE, except promote propaganda.

ESPN did make a point to say Leach was sueing them though.

He's suing Texas Tech of the Big 12, not the Big East.

My point was he is sueing ESPN as well, and they mentioned that. Why would I make a statement about sueing the BE? Leach has no ties to the conference.

They only mentioned that he's suing Texas Tech. not ESPN. I don't know where you got that from but that is not what was said. I watched the entire game. If I'm not mistaken, the comment was made early in the 4th quarter.

Before half they made the statement, about it. They were very clear in they're statement.

Yep. Say what you want about Mormons, but they are definitely loyal to their own!!!

I hope BYU does well this season, except against BE teams. There is a good chance they will be #14.

For the 2,000 plus UCF fans that made the trip out to Provo last year for the UCF/BYU game...99% (or more) came away IMPRESSED and most want to go back when/if BYU joins the Big East (BYU is set to play at UCF in 2014).

Utah is an amazing place...simply amazing place to visit....plus, in generally, people of Utah really know how to treat their guest/visitors. (BYU, Utes, transplants and others, etc...).

I enjoy any time a Pac 12 team is beat...even by BYU.

I think I want BYU in the Big East even more now. That is one amazing place. I like it.

Those BYU pics are beautiful.
