If BYU goes to the BigXII, Utah will be the best state for college football. This would be he case because on any given week fans could watch BYU beat up on Texas or Oklahoma or West Virginia. Then they could drive 45 minutes to the school up north and watch the Yewts lose to the likes of USC, Arizona, Oregon, or UCLA. Think about the exposure our state would get, especially from an economic development perspective!
If I were Governor Herbert, I'd be sending Val Hale and the Governor's Office of Economic Development to Dallas and the entire BigXII every other week until it happened.
