It seems a lot of BYU fans seem to think a big reason they are going independent is to position themselves better for the next wave of realignment and save themselves a little bit of money in exit fees from the MWC so that its easier to hop to the Big XII when Nebraska and Colorado leave. They feel that the Big XII will not add teams until NU and CU have paid their exit fees because those schools may fight paying the fees if membership never falls below 12 members. They really want in the Big XII and despise the Pac 10 for choosing Utah over them. This is what I've gathered from cougarboard anyways.
