programs like FLSt and get rid of the worst. Keep the payment for the conference similar to current deal but with less mouths to feed they all get much more money.

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

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

Ute fans, you can roll your eyes all you want but it’s already proven.

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

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

I’m not afraid of that, given that BYU would be one of those top value Big12

Bring it on. TV networks (particularly ESPN) know.

Look at last years tv football numbers. BYU isn’t the draw you think they are.

Utefaninenemyland

This hurts and I truly thought BYU would take our existing numbers and then it

Drive by analysis might be good for fans, but TV networks know which brands

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
