Sorry, but OU and UW are "too big to die" and will land somewhere for sure

Yep. Big 12 gets aggressive because they have a real chance to become #3.

That was a surprise to me. Makes me think Big 12 needs to gun for those two

I agree but IMO the way to get those 2 schools is to nuke the PAC by taking

I don't think you need all 4 "corner" schools.

2 AZ schools and UW and UO. That would be the best scenario, IMO.

I don't like UO and UW in the B12. They out recruit us on the regular. We need them to die. Take AZ and AZ St to

It seems their legislature may force them to stay in a weakened P12. The ACC is possible, but what a terrible situation

That could definitely be a fly in the ointment if UW/WSU has to be a package dea

UW/UO's three alternatives are BigXII, MWC or invite top MWC schools to the PACX

Just because it's good for the B12... doesn't mean it's good for BYU. UO lands more of the top 5 recruits out of

What's good for the B12 is good for BYU. How can you not see what is going on in

I agree. We need some big brands otherwise we will always be relegated to MWC

On the flip side a temporarily "weakened" Pac12 isn't good either.

They go to UO because it WAS a much stronger program than BYU

Recruits go to UO because of the fancy Nike facilities.

This is also why UTAH should not be invited if you are a BYU fan. Own the market

If you’re the B12 you want both. Then you control the whole market AND the BYU

Why would the B12 care about owning the whole SLC market? It's a small market. The P12 got it right years ago, there

yup. This isn't the NFL where you have a huge salary obligation to your players.
