First of all this written back in 2010 and was re-stating the previous position which was in the 1990s.
The reason stated for not meeting academic standards is due to the fact that BYU is not a major research institution. Not really sure why being a major research institution is a big deal to be in the PAC12, but apparently it was important to someone.
In terms of a quality undergraduate education there are plenty of top schools that are not a major research institutions.
If you go by the US News ranking, then BYU is #61. Not as good as the California schools, but better than the schools in the NW.
