Worse case scenario is the ACC reforms with just the strongest members.

BYU brings money. More than any current or future Big12 members.

Nobody in the know ever referred to the addition of Utah to a power conference as the "Homerun Shot"

I still think political correctness would be a player. I wouldn’t feel confident

Despite that our worth was iirc ~$60 million. Just imagine if we were good

It's hard to predict what future Big12 viewership will look like without UT/OU.

It was on the border of being ok. It was not good. I was really surprised.

The only way we move to a better situation is if the decision makers need BYU

So the ACC reforms with only about 8 teams?

slatecoug

Mar 24, 1:53pm

That’s the idea

SouthernBlueBlood

Mar 24, 1:57pm

To what end? An 8 team conference will not be taken that seriously because they don't have 8 high end football programs

No way the ACC w/o Clemson and FSU poach the Big12, maybe the other way around
