We are still compared to the PAC and are considered a western team. But will get more exposure in the central time zone and in different media markets.

Are there still those among us who would prefer a PAC-12 spot?

No question that the big12 is better for us. In every way except travel. If we had an offer to both, BYU would

The Big12 is the conference BYU deserves. It’s just a shame that the

P12 has better destinations, B12 has better football and basketball.

The destinations are the same for both sports. PAC 12 cities> not close.

Plus the rest of the Big12 loves us. I feel the BYU brand is helping keep

They'll love BYU until BYU beats them.

Besides all that, BYU has a fan base that cares. Stark contrast to PAC overall.

It’s only a travel, non revenue sport thing for me.. so if my kids end up at byu

Would I rather play in LA, Pasadena, Seattle, Eugene, Palo Alto? Honestly yes.

But have you seen those Magnolia silos in Waco though?

Me. I’ll explain. I like to travel to games abd have a better chance at winning

I can see the appeal for fans who travel with the team. Better destinations.

stenso

10/24/21 9:22am

I agree, I’ve been crying myself to sleep over lack of good future road destinations

The choice of this team is a no-brainer considering PAC-12 geography and culture:

Brisco

The PAC 12 is a better fit, travel, number of members in the PAC 12 states,

PAC-12 has better cities/areas to visit for vacation.

Frankly, I'd prefer to visit Waco over Portland.

Les IsMore

10/24/21 9:27am

Bonus is you can watch the Cougs in Waco, Portland not so much

Purely on location I'd select the PAC12. Not taking into consideration anything

My only dislike of being members of either is the existence of another Cougar

Living in Oregon, I selfishly would love to see more games against UO and OSU.

And as somebody on the east coast, the same reason pulls me to the Big 12. Plus

It WOULD be nice playing a soft Pac-12 schedule every year.

zsmooth

10/24/21 10:54am

Absolutely. I think PAC12 is better set from a $ and stability perspective

Plus, the “Mormon belt” has been shifting some away from the northwest and…

Yes, but I’ll somehow manage to get over it.

If we could separate politics from this, I'd prefer the Pac-12. USC, UCLA, UofO

I hope not. Religious conservatives > Liberal bigots

As a California cougar, I'd still prefer the Pac12 for selfish reasons.
