and FSN and FX and lets not pretend...

...that Utah is going to get very many games on ESPN when ESPN can put Oregon, Washington or USC on instead. Do you really think Utah, Colorado, Washington St, etc are going to get very many (if any) of their games on ESPN? No, if at all, you'll be seeing them in regional telecasts on FSN or some of the side channels (like F/X, etc).

One reason why Utah received an invite?

wookface

5/16/11 7:14pm

They're not Mormon.

abcd

5/16/11 7:16pm

Could be but as much as I hate to admit it

wookface

5/16/11 7:21pm

If that's the only reason that you can find, then

VirginiaUte

5/16/11 7:22pm

It was a factor

blooboi

5/16/11 7:23pm

What is the main reason then?

chago04

5/16/11 7:23pm

It wasn't $$ How much do you think ESPN pays

nephicoug

5/16/11 7:24pm

3 peanuts?

chago04

5/16/11 7:24pm

I always find this reason laughable

wookface

5/16/11 7:27pm

Who's to say what the main reason was?

VirginiaUte

5/16/11 7:29pm

I still just can't buy the research theory

wookface

5/16/11 7:33pm

That's just it, though. Conference affiliation is

Utah is now tied with MIT

believe what you may, but it was the #1 reason

Whatever. I don't know why it's so hard for you

VirginiaUte

5/17/11 6:17am

I guess I can see your point

wookface

5/17/11 9:01am

I agree with you that undergraduate research is

Look

There are too many things I could respond to about

Yes, CA educational system is aggressively at odds

Sorry, I thought that was the point I was trying

Very well said. You're spot on.

VirginiaUte

5/17/11 10:59am

Why not? Easy,take your pick, Mormon, Joseph Smith

icecougar

BullYewt! it's a pure smokescreen...

icecougar

5/17/11 7:51pm

Which schools aren't research schools?

VirginiaUte

5/17/11 7:57pm

Those 2 aren't AAU schools, also ASU isn't

icecougar

5/18/11 2:58pm

you mean they're liberal and not Mormon...

icecougar

5/17/11 7:48pm

LOL. Go spend some time up at UW, Cal, or Oregon

VirginiaUte

5/17/11 7:56pm

Lol! Liberal by Utah standards ;-)

icecougar

5/18/11 12:05pm

Now that I can agree with!

VirginiaUte

5/18/11 12:57pm

Yeah, just go on with your Mormon persecution

Says the guys that lives in Utah

Delux247 425

5/16/11 10:01pm

Nope.

VirginiaUte

5/17/11 6:17am

it's a fact of reality...

icecougar

5/18/11 6:47pm

Here's the problem with your logic

ocblake13

5/16/11 11:33pm

lol. You think that because more people watched

5/17/11 10:07am

They're not part of the fan base

ocblake13

5/17/11 11:51am

You're making our arguments for us...

icecougar

5/19/11 12:37pm

Not really

ocblake13

5/19/11 6:24pm

What choice did the Pac 10 have at that point?

icecougar

5/20/11 7:41pm

I followed the link and theres a faulty conclusion

icecougar

5/20/11 8:08pm

In other words

ocblake13

5/21/11 10:10pm

The Big East did ask BYU and BYU said no thanks

icecougar

5/23/11 1:18pm

Yes, Fiesta Bowl and SUgar Bowl are natural draws.

icecougar

5/19/11 10:07am

Right, but what about the other bowls?

ocblake13

5/19/11 5:03pm

Seriously? The PAC10 was screwed when the BIGXII

ShakeNBake

5/18/11 3:22pm

But in all honesty, Utah did BYU a favor...

icecougar

5/19/11 12:55pm

and lets break your logic down...

icecougar

5/18/11 7:50pm

Understandable

ocblake13

5/20/11 12:22am

I see BYU as a good football program...

icecougar

take the blue-tinted goggles off

truecougster

5/17/11 9:17am

Football has little to do with academic principles

icecougar

5/19/11 1:06pm

its about money and utah DOESN'T give them

jonnnylingo

5/17/11 11:45am

BYU doesn't give them any more money than

ocblake13

5/17/11 2:34pm

EYEBALLS = MONEY

ShakeNBake

5/18/11 3:22pm

Sorry Charlie....its not even close...

icecougar

5/19/11 2:46pm

I think it's great that BYU has that appeal

ocblake13

5/20/11 12:02am

Also, they're not Boise State

icecougar

#1 Reason They Got Invite. UofU > Byu

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

chago04

5/16/11 7:22pm

I highly doubt there was one overarching reason

wookface

5/16/11 7:23pm

Obviously not since we weren't invited.

5/16/11 7:24pm

We? Cut the poop, yewt.

that makes no sense
