to the rule on multiple occasions, including right before finally adding Utah. Curious they would have continued asking for a waiver of Utah added so much value.
Adding the SLC market was supposed to help cover Utah's portion of the allotment from the PAC network revenue. Of course, the network is close to failing and hasn't been anywhere close to the revenue generator it was billed to be, so that's no longer an argument in your favor.
If it were being decided today, with the NCAA having relaxed their 12 team rule and especially with knowing the struggles of the network, the PAC would laugh at the notion to add Utah. Lucky for you guys it happened back in 2009.
