Default Fantastical dream scenario for BYU conference realignment

BYU gets shut out of Pac 10. That's a given.

BYU not taken in the Big 12, for whatever reason. No expansion. Or maybe no Sunday play.

The religious forces in the Catholic church decide that Notre Dame will form a new conference, and they ask BYU to join as well as a founding member, due to religious alliance in the political arena. A new national conference, composed of willing partners.

Yes, I will daydream on this a while. Yesh.........

I think the Sunday play issues screws BYU. We could offer to forfeit those championship opportunities though.

BYU may be rendered irrelevant due to the Sunday play issue. Some may be proud of that. I am not.

I was thinking of the conference having many of Notre Dame's rivals. Notre Dame, BYU, Navy, USC, Michigan, Ohio State, Texas, UCLA, maybe a couple more, take your pick.

so a really crappy division, and an awesome one? Also you didn't give Texas a rival.
