RE: BYU AD: P5 Football Only invite not a viable option

A quick look at the 2015-16 men's bball schedule shows 6 Sunday games involving Big 12 teams, all non-conference games in November and December.
The 2015-16 women's bball schedule has 31 Sunday non-conference games (all in November and December) and 9 conference games on Sunday - mostly in January.
I would say Sunday play would pretty much be a non-issue for football and men's and women's basketball.
Looking at individual school schedules, it looks like there are a ton of baseball and softball games on Sundays, with many 3-game series occurring Friday-Sunday.
BYU could easily keep its swimming and diving, men's volleyball, and indoor track & field in the MPSF. They might even be able to keep Baseball, Softball, Soccer, Tennis, outdoor Track, and Volleyball in the WCC - if Sunday play really is in issue for these sports in the Big 12.

I would think the only two possibilities are football-only and full membership, in which case all the sports you listed, except men's volleyball, are sponsored by the XII. (not sure about swimming ... they only have 3 schools with men's teams and 5 schools with women's teams)
I don't see how BYU could get an invite for football and men's & women's basketball, but nothing else.
