It seems like it would just hurt Utah's recruiting.
Competition is good for the consumer, but is it good for the company that has the monopoly?

POLL: How would Utah vote? BYU in the PAC12 or out?

They would have HUGE pressure from the powers that be to vote yes.

They would be the Jim Matheson of the PAC12. Good point.

I am interested to know who the "powers that be"

The state. Big donors who support both schools. The Church.

Never took a Poly Sci class? The state is a term for government.

Wow. Thanks for taking me to class.

Members of the Church know perhaps.

And I never said it was.

If Univ of Utah cared about BYU's BOT, etc.

Colorado was in long before Utah.

You guys?!?!?!!

My bad. Saw the red font and assumed. My mistake.

BarraCouga

I agree with all of that, yet

It's like putting 3 convenience stores on the same corner...

and if BYU was invited to the Big 12 instead ?

Why?

A few reasons actually

That makes sense.

I don't think it would affect recruiting one way or another.

And share the glory? Share the recruiting claim? Nope. Don't see it.

I assume there are a lot of BYU grads in the state legislature.

Yes, and they wouldn't even take time to discuss it.

No. Fans'd have to buy new Pac-14 gear they can't afford
