I get that—that’s why I said maybe. Not sure what warranted the snarky comment.

26769coug

Fair enough. I agree with the maybe.

Because then the question is, which school?

The post said "not" one school. meaning no school moved the needle

That’s not true.

BYU has sure been proving them wrong. The Big 12 must be so embarrassed. Look what they missed out on.

So do you think the P12 now regrets inviting Utah & Colorado?

Probably. Especially considering the network has been a flop which was the reason they were willing

I think the P12 regrets a lot of things right now

Nope. Utah and Colorado were brought for markets and easy wins

reddead

Ehhh... are those markets really worth 20% less revenue per each team?

Iki_Balam

12/5/18 10:00am

It's not 20% less (that's lazy math); additionally, UT and CO added value

reddead

The CCG added value. That was the main driver, and the PAC did beg for a waiver

sadly, allowing a championship game with 10 teams hurt BYU quite a bit

I think getting 8 Big 12 schools to agree on anything is actually pretty hard.

"Move the needle" in his comments means "moved it enough to initiate action"

If BYU was invited 8 years ago, they'd be there

His point is that Utah’s attendance is poor

He's wrong.

The 1-loss Big 12 champ just landed a spot in the CFP, ahead of 1-loss Ohio St.
