Big 5 conferences do not take schools on for "football only". That's something reserved for mid-Majors.
You are getting it backwards!
Neither is joining the B12 just like Notre Dame did not join the ACC for football.
ACC (by contract) plays 5 ACC teams while remaining IND in football. BYU and UC could do the same thing with the B12.
BYU (by contract) plays 3 B12 games a season in football.
UC (by contract) plays 3 B12 games per season in football.
Not sure why this is so difficult to understand when Notre Dame has already done it.
UC, BYU, and B12 all get better schedules and none have to pay for "rent a win" games that would hurt their post season chances via SoS. In theory UC and BYU would help the Sagarin type numbers for the B12 and the B12 Sagarin type numbers would help UC and BYU. It is a benefit for both sides without having to add both schools to the B12 for all sports and drive up travel costs for all 12 schools.

BYU and UTEP both need to STFU and get into the MWC. This may not make the MWC a P5, but it would make the league the first conf outside the P5.
