they will be far behind and maybe even further if the B10 scores BIG. Or maybe they get picked apart...pretty had for a school Pres to turn down an extra $30M/year just to stay in the old P12.

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

I didn't make any definitive statement

BYU is behind 8 PAC12 teams.

6/12/18 8:33pm

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

Turnpike Lane

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

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

Which is so funny because Utah is further below #yewttruth

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

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

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.

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

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

They invited the wrong team from Utah.

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

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

Only $38M? How terrible.

When you spend way over that, it is a problem

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

The California government would not let UCLA leave alone.

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

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

Zach Morris

Big problem is their teams are in metro markets owned by a pro sports team

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

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