Pac-10 wanted BYU with Utah ... 2 simple reasons why it didn't happen.

8/14/19 10:57pm

That doesn’t make sense. Colorado was already in. They just needed

Exactly. Boom goes the dynamite 🧨 n that fake narrative.

Oh gosh

Whatever. I offered no dates when these exploratory discussions took place.

mindzeYe

8/14/19 11:42pm

In the 90s, yes. You would be correct.

BYUHgrad

This is absoloutely correct. Amazing how things basically reveresed except one

idacoug

not talking about the 90s. This is 2008-2010 time frame.

mindzeYe

I don’t think byutv did reply’s back then.

BYUHgrad

8/15/19 10:17pm

LOL. You’re serious? Just no. PAC12 took Colorado first then added Utah. So stop.

Turnpike Lane

8/14/19 11:03pm

nonsensical response.

mindzeYe

So glad you know more than the OP who actually knows his stuff

chazen

I can believe #1. I don't believe #2 for a second.

KingDave

I added the word "replay" which makes it more clear

mindzeYe

8/14/19 11:58pm

The Pac-12 was "never an option" for BYU. BYU never even received a "courtesy

true, never an option for both reasons stated. But TH has a spin

Ya gotta love the creative history of supposed insiders.

You did a coffee table book?

i'm sure it ended up on some coffee tables.

Man, based on pix 2 and 3 I should write a book!, haha!

What about Sunday replay? That's the real doozie!

Sunday play will always be a sticking point and non-starter for full conference

NewMexiCoug

Extra money from FB would Trump that in a second

You really think BYU adds that much to a P5 conference that the other

Love BamaCoug's information. I agree that we were the logical choice for the PAC

NewMexiCoug

8/15/19 4:24pm

Think man, just bc BYU doesn’t play on Sunday it doesn’t mean other teams can’t

Pretorian

8/15/19 5:39pm

Sorry, but I work with some influential U Texas fans and that was the first

NewMexiCoug

8/15/19 8:12pm

They could say that at first glance but once they thought about it they’d get

Pretorian

8/16/19 5:56am

That is my point. The added value we might bring is not worth the upset to the

NewMexiCoug

8/16/19 6:12am

Your point is logical I just think the main sports have enough

Pretorian

8/17/19 8:20am

UU wasn't chosen "over" BYU

mindzeYe

8/15/19 9:21pm

I don’t follow your logic?

Pretorian

8/18/19 10:10am

Why the capitol T? Was the president involved?

Completely unintentional

Pretorian

This is such a garbage post

Swishfromdeep3

8/15/19 5:46am

Utter garbage. No need to say anything about this. If you're going to make stuff up, at least make it semi-believable

Adrielle

8/15/19 6:06am

Why would he make something up and then out himself IRL?

dchandle15

8/15/19 6:45am

I don't believe him one bit. If someone gave him this information, it's false

Adrielle

8/15/19 12:58pm

That's a great opinion you have there. Care to share any facts?

GigantorCat

8/15/19 1:04pm

I’m glad that someone at least shared something from a PAC 12 source. Usually

dchandle15

8/15/19 7:01pm

Perhaps this is true. But it gets no mention in media write-ups that have circulated since that year...

Tokolosh

8/15/19 6:17am

Media wouldn't know this because no offer was ever made

mindzeYe

8/15/19 9:07am

Many of the stories delve into more than offers made. This just isn't in those stories, even as an in passing mention.

Tokolosh

8/15/19 10:23am

Enough about this, what are your suggestions for picking a good suit?

If BYU allows byutv to be the sticking point that prevents them from getting into an P5 conference, then they're too

They said Sunday play and TV rights. Seems like a negotiation ploy. BYU knows

Despite decades of working together the Sunday play was creating issues with MWC

BYUtka

It's been my experience that true insiders never betray the trust

Everyman

Thanks. You get it.

mindzeYe

When does the MWC ever play anything on Sunday, even today?

Richbyu

8/15/19 10:16am

I know they did some WBB on Sunday back when we were in the conference.

NewMexiCoug

8/15/19 4:36pm

This always comes up. The PAC didn't want us because we aren't liberal enough.

he said those two points were non-negotiable for both sides

mindzeYe

I believe those who were involved in the discussions a few decades ago and

Cougarpride

8/15/19 11:40am

share what you know about the 90s discussion. This is about 2008-2011

mindzeYe

If you read my post I touched on both time frames

Cougarpride

The only way that this might be partly true is that the ADs probably wanted BYU

Its possible under a 2008-2010 timeframe. That would have preceded Larry Scott.
