Did you miss it when they joined the West Coast Conference? Because that's exactly what they did.
I think BYU realizes that making that move in the current climate is a mistake. Football is still king and I think BYU has enough punch to make it into a legitimate power conference. I see them staying put as an independent or aligning with a bigger conference and bringing all their athletic programs with them. Purely speculation on my part...

They're only independent in football. In everything else, they're in the WCC, a Catholic league. My idea was that they stay there, let the eastern Catholic league get going, and have annual matchups between the leagues.
I saw this on ESPN this morning and I thought it was interesting and relevant to the thread. It's part of Andy Katz' latest blog post, and references ESPNs CBB podcast:

Pitt coach Jamie Dixon also said on the same podcast that he was told the reason Marquette and DePaul were added 10 years ago was to ensure the five Catholic schools had seven members to retain an NCAA bid if they decided to leave. He said the eventual split of football and non-football was always inevitable, and may have actually happened later than predicted.
