I believe Cal and Stanford both said they didn't like BYU's politics. This was a few years back when they were trying to get in with the pac.
TO be expected from those lefties.
BYU has a very large following for not being a big team/school. They would be a good add for the big12. A lot better than tcu was.

Why not? Is this an academics thing?
Academics is the biggie. BYU's research and grad school programs are lacking and the church has no plans to change it's focus. Then, there are "human rights" issues....the LDS Church's history of racism and hardline on gay rights.
The Pac12's acceptance of U of U was a recognition of Utes academic commitment and direction as well as a shot at BYU.
I've got family on the Stanford faculty; they tell me politics against BYU are long held and hardline.
