Last week, a Big 12 university president made a bit of news when he referred specifically to BYU’s hopes to join the conference. In an interview with the Iowa State school newspaper, Iowa State President Steven Leath said, via the Salt Lake Tribune:
"I'm getting more input from individuals on BYU than any other school," Leath said.
...
"I am getting considerable input on both sides of the issue," he said. [BYU] is a school of integrity, they play by the rules, quality program, and people that have been there had great experiences and say we should consider BYU.
