One reason why Utah received an invite?

wookface

5/16/11 7:14pm

They're not Mormon.

abcd

5/16/11 7:16pm

Could be but as much as I hate to admit it

wookface

5/16/11 7:21pm

If that's the only reason that you can find, then

VirginiaUte

5/16/11 7:22pm

It was a factor

blooboi

5/16/11 7:23pm

What is the main reason then?

chago04

5/16/11 7:23pm

It wasn't $$ How much do you think ESPN pays

nephicoug

5/16/11 7:24pm

3 peanuts?

chago04

5/16/11 7:24pm

I always find this reason laughable

wookface

5/16/11 7:27pm

Who's to say what the main reason was?

VirginiaUte

5/16/11 7:29pm

I still just can't buy the research theory

wookface

5/16/11 7:33pm

That's just it, though. Conference affiliation is

Utah is now tied with MIT

believe what you may, but it was the #1 reason

Whatever. I don't know why it's so hard for you

VirginiaUte

5/17/11 6:17am

I guess I can see your point

wookface

5/17/11 9:01am

I agree with you that undergraduate research is

Very well said. You're spot on.

VirginiaUte

Why not? Easy,take your pick, Mormon, Joseph Smith

BullYewt! it's a pure smokescreen...

icecougar

5/17/11 7:51pm

Which schools aren't research schools?

VirginiaUte

Those 2 aren't AAU schools, also ASU isn't

icecougar

5/18/11 2:58pm

you mean they're liberal and not Mormon...

icecougar

5/17/11 7:48pm

LOL. Go spend some time up at UW, Cal, or Oregon

VirginiaUte

5/17/11 7:56pm

Lol! Liberal by Utah standards ;-)

icecougar

5/18/11 12:05pm

Now that I can agree with!

VirginiaUte

5/18/11 12:57pm

Yeah, just go on with your Mormon persecution

Nope.

VirginiaUte

5/17/11 6:17am

it's a fact of reality...

icecougar

5/18/11 6:47pm

Here's the problem with your logic

ocblake13

5/16/11 11:33pm

lol. You think that because more people watched

BigHouse Coug

They're not part of the fan base

You're making our arguments for us...

icecougar

5/19/11 12:37pm

Not really

ocblake13

5/19/11 6:24pm

What choice did the Pac 10 have at that point?

icecougar

5/20/11 7:41pm

I followed the link and theres a faulty conclusion

icecougar

5/20/11 8:08pm

In other words

ocblake13

5/21/11 10:10pm

The Big East did ask BYU and BYU said no thanks

icecougar

5/23/11 1:18pm

Yes, Fiesta Bowl and SUgar Bowl are natural draws.

icecougar

5/19/11 10:07am

Right, but what about the other bowls?

ocblake13

5/19/11 5:03pm

Seriously? The PAC10 was screwed when the BIGXII

ShakeNBake

5/18/11 3:22pm

But in all honesty, Utah did BYU a favor...

icecougar

5/19/11 12:55pm

and lets break your logic down...

icecougar

5/18/11 7:50pm

Understandable

ocblake13

5/20/11 12:22am

I see BYU as a good football program...

icecougar

5/23/11 2:20pm

truecougster

5/17/11 9:17am

Football has little to do with academic principles

icecougar

5/19/11 1:06pm

its about money and utah DOESN'T give them

jonnnylingo

5/17/11 11:45am

BYU doesn't give them any more money than

ocblake13

ShakeNBake

5/18/11 3:22pm

Sorry Charlie....its not even close...

icecougar

5/19/11 2:46pm

I think it's great that BYU has that appeal

ocblake13

5/20/11 12:02am

Also, they're not Boise State

chago04

I highly doubt there was one overarching reason

Obviously not since we weren't invited.
