Provo • When Tom Holmoe met with reporters last January, 42 minutes went by before BYU’s athletic director was asked if the school was ready to put its independent football program into a conference.
Suffice it to say that if Holmoe conducted another of his roundtable discussions this week, the question would come a lot sooner.
Conference realignment and BYU’s place in the college football landscape is a hot topic again, because the University of Connecticut is preparing to leave the American Athletic Conference and accept an invitation to join the Big East for basketball and other sports.
