Here we go again with talk about Brigham Young University and the Big 12.

Just because the University of Utah was invited into the Pac12, why does BYU think it should be in another major conference?

Just because BYU's big brother is in the Pac12 doesn't mean they are the same caliber. BYU needs to prove that it belongs in another conference by its athletic prowess, just like the University of Utah did.

Then maybe another conference might come calling.
