...if you hear reports out of Texas or Oklahoma that BYU is not interested in the Big 12, it is only an interpretation of BYU negotiating its talking points."

Multiple sources have confirmed ... that BYU has an official invite from the Big 12 Conference in hand and is currently pouring over all details to make sure its negotiating points are satisfactorily met."

Until [the Big 12] stitches the pieces back together I can't imagine BYU or any other team of note being eager to sign on."

A source close to the situation at Brigham Young University is indicating that if the Big 12 Conference in fact holds together as now expected, BYU is highly likely to become a full member of that conference if it can be assured that the league will be stable into the future."

I'm officially engaged everyone. She Said yes and she was completely surprised! It was perfect!! #perfectnight

I have never seen a performance like what Fredette did tonight. New Mexico really was not playing bad defense. They tried strength, speed and length and nothing worked. He could have shot 50 percent from the third row of the stands and had popcorn between shots without spilling any."

I think everything about UTEP is attractive to us. The proximity, the passion that Miner fans have for that program, the tradition they're got there, the familiarity with New Mexico football with UTEP. There's so much that's attractive about them."

Because BYU would expand the Big 12's existing, five-state geographic footprint in future TV negotiations (unlike TCU, which is located in Texas), a case could be made that BYU would be a valuable acquisition if paired with the right expansion partner."

As a university, we apologize for the inappropriate message that was briefly posted on the BYU scoreboard at the end of the Utah State-BYU men's basketball game. BYU's athletic director Tom Holmoe also has apologized to Utah State's athletic director, Scott Barnes. As Tom explained to him, the university is extremely sorry for this message, which does not reflect the sentiment of BYU Athletics or the university.

Athletics does not operate the scoreboard in the Marriott Center; instead, this is handled by the university's IT department. In this incident, the usual person was not at work because of a family emergency. The student employee filling in took the liberty of putting up what he thought was a humorous message. This matter has been addressed with the student, who regrets his action."

There's no better scoring point guard than Fredette, who had an offensive rating of 120.0 and shot 44.0 percent from long range last season -- despite being the focal point of every opposing defense. He'll put up enough memorable scoring totals (for example: 49 against Arizona and 45 against TCU as a junior) to win a close POY race against K-State's Jacob Pullen and UNC's Harrison Barnes."
