Utah, who is the front runner to win the south division and compete in the Pac 12 championship game, still is having their games aired on the P12 network.

I don't trust MHver3 at all, but he is right about one thing.

The real question is what can they do differently?

mudpupper

11/15/18 2:48pm

I probably should have stated it differently. Expansion in and of itself wasn't

Oranje

11/15/18 2:54pm

They should have never made the agreements they did with the cable companies

DJROSS

they're also stuck because of geography and their own elitism...

They have pretty much locked up every major market out west already. The only

Give up the p12 network and go to an 8 game schedule. Schedule more big time OOC games and play more during the day

YIsForBrigham

that will help drive viewership in time zones further east

icecougar

Utah tried that, but state legislature audited them for it.

Bluegoogles

With an 8 game conference schedule, Utah can schedule an extra nice OOC game and still not destroy one of the most

Important? How so? It only benefits one team. It's a lose/lose for the other.

That's B.S.

Da_full_Cosmo

How so? Because CB says so?

I highly doubt anyone outside of the AD/school pres has the pulse on how AZ/ASU are feeling about the PAC 12.

It's been discussed a lot in the Arizona press (mainly radio). It's no secret.

They make more now than before and so I ask what is really different or worse?

Current situation bad. Shaking things up favors us.

I don't think any of this affects BYU at all. Like the first line of my post

That would be fun to join them and go to the Big 12

BYU Fan

Or it would be fun if Utah up and did that. LOL.

Virginia Ute

11/15/18 2:56pm

I'd let Utah join the Big 12 and BYU could join the PAC 10

BYU Fan

I'd much rather be in the big 12, but would rather be in the Pac than any G5 conference

what is the alternative? Super Conferences? New TV Deal?

P12 can get new management; B12 can't get 26 million more residents

Gustav

Now if only the P12 population actually cared about football.

True — and that may matter more in the future

Kansas City and Dallas are small?

TCU fandom is tiny

Gustav

11/15/18 3:07pm

I can say the same for most Pac 12 cities. Fandom is small. Fans don't care.

are you saying its a political conspiracy to reduce head injuries?

Plenty of wussification that doesn't involve head injury risks

politics have nothing to do with it though

If population mattered that much Houston would be P5 along with a few other

Population is the sole reason Rutgers and Maryland are in the Big 10

Gustav

Being in the Big 10 has done nothing to help Maryland or Rutgers.

BYU is much bigger than SLC
