POLL: Would you rather...join the Big 12 or the Big 10

The Big10 is the Sominex of the P5 conferences.

You kiss your mom with that mouth?

Agreed-however, I think it's a better fit for BYU given geography and academics.

newey-west

9/16/14 10:09pm

Academics? Citing academics is just a ruse. No one really cares

Indy Coug

9/16/14 10:10pm

In academic circles they do, being a "Big 10" school means something.

newey-west

9/16/14 10:11pm

Specifically it means something to B10 Presidents

This might be hard to believe, but sports are only one component of

It's a sports conference

Braves Fan

Sure, but you can't argue that the effect isn't real. B10 schools as a group

only in the SEC....Basic Algebra is the "hard" level of math and Curious George

There's a wormhole that extends from Payson to State College

Indy Coug

9/16/14 10:16pm

Absolutely

newey-west

9/16/14 10:16pm

That means little to geography really.

9/16/14 10:19pm

Nebraska is a counter point to your academics argument and by geography,

newey-west

9/16/14 10:21pm

Proximity to Utah is what matters geography wise for conference affiliation

mobius

Kansas to West Virginia vs Nebraska to New Jersey?

newey-west

9/16/14 10:26pm

Try distance to each school rather than the extremes.

mobius

9/16/14 10:38pm

At that point, it's just a plane ticket.

newey-west

9/16/14 10:50pm

True. In reality I'd be ecstatic to be part of the BIG10.

mobius

9/16/14 10:54pm

I'm not sure your alumni numbers are right either

mobius

9/16/14 10:35pm

Good find--I had no idea that Texas had that many BYU alum. Wonder how many of

newey-west

Big10 by far, We would be much more competitive

9/16/14 10:08pm

Big 10 is less of a cluster.

9/16/14 10:10pm

BYU should feel slimy if they had Delaney for a commissioner

Indy Coug

9/16/14 10:12pm

Beats your current commissioner.

PAC 12 > Big 12 > SEC > Big 10 > ACC

fiberpost

9/16/14 10:19pm

The Big 12 almost went out of business and one of its top programs went B1G.

Pasadena

There are other reasons all of those teams left.

I think you underestimate Texas a bit, and when I say "Texas" I'm referring to

hansel

9/17/14 8:22am

The PAC is top tier with the SEC and B1G. It rivals both athletically

unctoothman

9/17/14 8:32am

Nobody here in SEC Country considers the PAC 12 at the same level.

Ruby Soho

9/17/14 10:14am

They certainly consider it at least the same level as the B10

Braves Fan

9/17/14 10:27am

That totally surprises me that people in the SEC think that.

9/17/14 10:28am

They did in Nashville before the season. I don't know where you are, but that is

Georgia, and I'm facinated that they'd hold a different opinion in Nashville

Braves Fan

See, Nashville has some objectivity. Unlike Bama football or UK hoops, there are

Is that because Vanderbilt is there?

Braves Fan

9/18/14 12:06pm

Nashville has objectivity because Vanderbilt has traditionally been the doormat

Nashville is a melting pot of UT, Bama, Auburn, Ole Miss, Georgia, UK,
