USA Today: Panic in the Pac-12 as conference quickly falls behind rivals

I feel horrible for them. It’s almost as if they struggle making correct business decisions when given the opportunity

Boo hoo. Idiots. Hope they choke on their arrogance. Conference of suckitude in football and men’s hoop.

Give BYU the money and opportunity of a P5 and see if that's still true

What do you have except blue goggles to make the statement. BYU, at one time

Cougtruth

I didn't make any definitive statement

You are certainly not any part of "we"....

Learfield Cup. And where is Utah with all that money?

Final winter Learfield 2018 standings.

As of June 7, 2018 BYU #41 Utah #57

But good news. You beat Oregon State

BYU is behind 8 PAC12 teams.

Cougtruth

6/12/18 8:33pm

And ahead of 4 with more resources. You got in and still suck overall as an AD.

Turnpike Lane

6/12/18 8:34pm

If they are behind 8, that means the middle 4 ( or average) PAC12 teams are

Cougtruth

6/12/18 8:44pm

One spot below the average. Yep that's "rediculous"!!!!

Huge Manatee

"so far below the average pac 12 team, it's ridiculous"

Huge Manatee

Which is so funny because Utah is further below #yewttruth

You look foolish as a yewt on CB

Not as foolish as when you don't have facts supporting you

What has BYU done since 1984? Finished ranked in the top 5 for starters. #1996

What have they done?

That’s what happens when nobody east of the Rockies watches their games. On too

If boring football was an issue, the Big10 would be neck deep in trouble

Indy Coug

6/12/18 6:29pm

Boring teams. Big 10 football has a lot more compelling teams to watch.

WDaddy

6/12/18 6:38pm

I don’t know what that even means. Boring football styles are not compelling.

Indy Coug

I don’t even know why I try with you. Forgedaboutid

WDaddy

No really, half the B10 sucks and plays 3 yards and a pile of dust

Nat Gas Man

I actually think they typically have some good high scoring entertaining games.

byubyu

They invited the wrong team from Utah.

Props for picking their political principles over money. Though they still....

Colorado was also a bad choice....the Denver market does not care.

I see more Nebraska hats in the Denver market than I do Buffs

That means they fit in well with the rest of the PAC. The general apathy across

dilbert

Social issues are what that league mostly cares about. Business and finance

Rocketman

6/13/18 4:45am

It's true. Student bodies in the PAC10 are more into smoking doobies than sports

Unibro

Only $38M? How terrible.

Everyman

6/12/18 6:29pm

When you spend way over that, it is a problem

Hey big 12. Add Utah Byu, Az, USC, Az st, and UCLA

OU Cougar

6/12/18 6:33pm

The California government would not let UCLA leave alone.

ParentingNotForSissy

6/12/18 9:37pm

Nah, add BYU, AZ, AZ St., USC, UCLA and CO.

Don’t believe it. The Big 12 is the conference that is falling apart.

This is a very big deal. I watched ASU fall into nothing after the NFL took PHX

They'll be well poised to team up with FAANG.

West coast and northeast don't really do college football.

Sacrificing business sense for hypocritical values since 2012.

I actually don't think that PAC12 has made many business mistakes

Another big issue is that 2023 is the negotiation period for the next round...

Nat Gas Man

And desperate enough to try something new. Like, Facebook?

Kind of ironic Washington State is the one to provide the documents.

Is that the sport with horses and water guns that no one pays attention to?

D.T. Survivor

$38 million/school? How much are we making as an independent? I’m guessing less.

How can any true fan of BYU feel bad for this conference?

Let’s stop pretending we don’t wish we had these issues.

Let's ask some Ute fans.

Yeah, I think Ute fans are doing just fine.
