combination isn't going anywhere for a while. They are "committed" to the Big 12 now. Committed until the Pac-12 decides the time is right or until Texas figures out that no conference wants to deal with that pesky Longhorn Network.
My only advice for BYU. Don't unpack your bags.
For now, the Big 12 is still breathing. It was just another round of realignment chaos and another false alarm. Missouri was rumored to have an SEC invite according to ESPN, but only if the Big 12 collapsed. The Tigers are still in the fold and it appears the conference will try to expand. BYU makes the most sense as the 10th member.

Sophomore Amy Wehrs said there is one way to tell her apart from her twin sister Kara.
"The challenge for me at first was just, telling them apart," Bechard said.
"I smile all the time," Amy said. "Kara is more of a 'Let's get down to business. Let's get stuff done' person. I'm just always happy."
Kara, a setter, is a starter who sees more playing time than her sister, who is one of

But as they approached their decision, the reality of separation began to weigh on both of them.
"We didn't care if we went to different 'schools'," Kara said. "But as the process got further along, we decided we did want to play together. We've played together our whole lives, so it was kind of important that, we went to the same school."
Kara said she knows her sister can play great volleyball when called upon.

"Whenever we're having a bad day, we're there for each other." Amy said: "When ever we're having a good day, we're there to congratulate each other."

However, Oklahoma's sights now seem to be solely on improving the Big 12.
