Responding to media inquiries after Wednesday’s announcement that Texas A&M has told the Big 12 Conference it plans to leave the league by July 2012, BYU officials reiterated that they are happy with the course the school has taken in regards to football independence and its affiliation with the West Coast Conference for other sports.

However, The Salt Lake Tribune has learned that BYU officials have had discussions with Big 12 officials within the past week regarding the school’s interest in joining the conference, and what conditions and assurances it would need to make the jump exactly a year after announcing they were breaking away from the Mountain West Conference.

Fueling the frenzy was the fact that a private jet left Addison Airport, near Big 12 headquarters north of Dallas, early Wednesday morning and landed at the Provo airport at 8:35 a.m. MDT, according to a website that tracks flights, flightaware.com.


However, a Big 12 spokesperson said he was “not aware” of any Big 12 officials on the private aircraft owned by a Richardson, Texas, company known as Boca Air. Duff Tittle, associate athletic director for communications, declined to confirm or deny whether any league representatives were on campus.
