Arizona 247 site reporting that Arizona, ASU, Colorado and Utah are meeting with Big 12 Tuesday.

Gross. Utah adds near zero value.

DirtyWater

7/3/22 4:49pm

I think they add value, but I still don't want them in our conference.

bbqoug

7/3/22 4:53pm

How? They are the only P12 school that wouldn’t add territory.

DirtyWater

7/3/22 4:55pm

Value isn’t only about territory

molodyets

7/3/22 4:59pm

Ok, they wouldn’t add viewers.

DirtyWater

7/3/22 5:30pm

As much as it pains me to say, they are the only one of those four

I hate Utah as much as anyone on here, but they would add nearly 1m viewers.

Big McLargeHuge

7/3/22 7:50pm

The dirty secret is half a mil of those viewers were BYU fans

Not disputing that, but the same could be said for our viewership numbers.

Big McLargeHuge

Are they also throwing the Brooklyn Bridge into that sales pitch?

Les IsMore

7/3/22 8:32pm

I totally Agree as of today. But what if they start losing? KWhitt will retire.

The_Cuss

7/3/22 9:33pm

This is a ridiculous statement

BYU-Laie

7/3/22 9:42pm

When was the last time Utah beat a team from any of those conferences? 5 years?

BYUtka

And after Whit retires?

HandwovenBox

Even with Whit, things aren't as amazing as people pretend they are. Outside the

Don't want Utah in but he's right.

Not really.

BYUtka

At least as much value as BYU. Sorry if you don’t like that fact. I can show you

canofpicante

Be careful to criticize

chirocoug

7/3/22 8:01pm

At least the Big 12 is taking action

pappabear246

7/3/22 9:36pm

They actually subtract value from BYU. Don’t let ‘em in

BYU-Laie

7/3/22 8:13pm

I dislike Utah as much as the next guy. But they add value to the Big 12.

Vert der Frick

7/3/22 8:57pm

What value? What do they bring?

BYUtka

7/3/22 9:10pm

About as much value as BYU.

Vert der Frick

7/3/22 9:44pm

In Big12 country? Not a chance.

NorthernLight

7/3/22 9:45pm

This isn't anywhere close to true.

whirl

Stability to the conference.

LaserCoug

Can do that with the two AZ schools. Don't need Utah for that.

So glad the Big 12 is moving fast. No time to waste.

TempeCoug

7/3/22 4:51pm

Other than Oregon and UW, this is the best move for the Big 12. I hate to say it

macdizzle

Should take 2 and then wait to see what UO and UW decide

GlutealGuy

7/3/22 4:54pm

Take all 4 and then take them too if they don’t go to the Big 10

macdizzle

7/3/22 4:55pm

I just don’t know if all 4 bring enough revenue to go to 16

GlutealGuy

7/3/22 5:08pm

Big12 should be all in on Oregon and Washington.

byubyu

7/3/22 4:52pm

They probably are but that doesn’t mean Oregon and Washington are interested.

TempeCoug

7/3/22 4:54pm

Big12 will have a much stronger negotiating position once the PAC is dead.

KingDave

7/3/22 4:55pm

Sadly, I agree. I don’t want Utah in the B12 but it’ll kill the PAC more quickly

Why would UT already be in discussions with the Big12 if the B1G was an option?

jrifkin48

7/3/22 4:54pm

Because Ute administration isn’t stupid. Just the fans. They’d be about the 8-10

canofpicante

7/3/22 7:47pm

TNT could live with this deal. The conference would be stronger

TNT

7/3/22 4:54pm

So Oregon and Washington must be off the table if true. Otherwise we’d be dumb

ColonelMustard

7/3/22 4:57pm

Either not interested or fairly confident in the B1G

TNT

7/3/22 4:58pm

i don't know how they couldn't be interested. what other options do they have if

ColonelMustard

7/3/22 5:22pm

Or it forces their hand. If they don't go to the Big 10, they're not staying in

Twitch Chatter

Seems like that would require some tactical planning by the Big 12

runningryan

Not necessarily. Just forcing the issue.

Baylorbears11

7/3/22 4:59pm

We have no idea what the intended result of these meetings are. Just that they are happening.

molodyets

7/3/22 5:01pm

Of course. They must be getting together to discuss vacation destinations!

TNT

7/3/22 5:02pm

Could be a selling point to some of the schools

calblue

7/3/22 5:15pm

They can always come later if the PAC10 is destroyed and B1G doesn’t want them.

canofpicante

7/3/22 7:48pm

If Utah is included in the Big 12, I say they have to pay an extra 10 million a year to BYU for being nice & welcoming.

IF this is the case, it would stand to reason that Oregon and UW have been

Alan Garner

Or that OR and Wash have reason to believe they'll be admitted to the B1G.

If utah gets in that sucks for our recruiting. Would be so good to leave them
