Holmoe: Despite disappointment of missing out on Big 12 invite, BYU is 'in a good spot'

I was disappointed and frustrated for two or three days. You’ve got to turn the page and move on. It was frustrating because I thought it was really close. I really believed we had a great chance.

PROVO — After spending months exploring the possibility of expansion, the Big 12 Conference announced in mid-October that it would not add any more teams, keeping BYU out of the Power 5 conference mix.

“I was disappointed and frustrated for two or three days,” athletic director Tom Holmoe said Wednesday, answering questions from local media for the first time since the Big 12’s decision to remain at 10 teams.
