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...

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

11/15/18 6:46pm

that will help drive viewership in time zones further east

icecougar

11/15/18 7:06pm

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

Bluegoogles

11/15/18 7:48pm

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.

Zach Morris

11/15/18 2:48pm

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

Oranje

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

How does all of this affect Byu? Does it make the other conferences want to

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

Arizona, Arizona State and Colorado have all talked with the Big 12

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

11/15/18 2:59pm

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

Good one. 😹 Oh, that wasn't a joke?

Bluegoogles

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

Avery

11/15/18 2:48pm

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

Gustav

Now if only the P12 population actually cared about football.

Gentleman Stan

True — and that may matter more in the future

Gustav

Kansas City and Dallas are small?

2FarGone

11/15/18 2:59pm

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.

politics have nothing to do with it though

All 18,000 of my Pullman neighbors care about football

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

Oranje

11/15/18 2:57pm

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

Gustav

11/15/18 2:59pm

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

The Big 10 contract is different and better than any other. They have an

I hope the networks refuse such an arrangement going forward

They are, rumors are already out that Comcast is telling the Big10 to pound sand in the renegotiations

What if they got Denver, Phoenix, Tucson and Salt Lake City?

BYU is much bigger than SLC
