Seriously, anybody that suggests adding Utah to the B12 needs to wake up.

Also, the Big 12 already has the SLC tv market. No business sense to add Utah

It’s 2022. Viewership nationally matters, not TV markets. And Utah has poor viewership

Not as bad as you would think. Utah does OK with viewership.

Only because they're playing big teams with more fans. They don't bring much to the table.

Yes, they are certainly not a national brand.

Why would inviting them automatically be an olive branch? Doing what’s best for the B12 is what we need

molodyets

Utah wouldn't be a difference maker to the validity of the B12.

mudpupper

But if adding 4 teams it creates an actual travel partner for us the rest of the league will care.

They'd be better served to add Colorado in that case. Adds a new market in

Unfortunately, BYU (particularly its Board) is not that vindictive

We don't have enough sway in Big 12 to stop Utah from joining if...

They’ll go indy with a $50MM/yr deal with ESPN.

To see the fanbase’s reaction to being a b12 reject would alone be worth it

I hate Utah, but no question they'd be a great add to BIG 12

If byu lets Utah rot, byu starts out recruiting them among lds players

Let them rot for a few years then pick them up. Maybe they join MWC

I think you'd be asking for bad karma. This could end bad for BYU as well.
