sports? I've always been confused about why the academic side matters at all for sports conference affiliation.

For conversation sake, If AZ and ASU left the PAC 12

I bet they’d stay at 10

DieHarder

10/23/19 1:54pm

Yep, they already play 9 conference games. No need to add anyone

cougaman

10/23/19 2:01pm

Why would the big 12 go to 12 if having 10 isn't necessary?

SUAVO

Drop to 8 conference games.

So, why wouldn't the PAC 12 do that?

SUAVO

10/23/19 8:47pm

Because none of the possible teams to add bring in enough to move the needle

cougaman

Are we sure about that? It's really just a guess when determining whether

Only reason they went to 12 was for champ. game. Now that that's no longer requisite, why bother?

Soupie

10/23/19 2:02pm

Would they even look to replace them? Just carry on with 10 and still have a CCG.

I would love that plan, but only if they restored the rightful rivalry game to

SDSU, Boise, UNLV, BYU, CSU, and even the Kansas schools would be considered

MikeDitka'sStache

... and then they would decide to stay at 10.

They'd go after Texas and Oklahoma again.

If B12 got AZ and ASU they wouldn't be leaving the B12

I still think that would be a tough sell but it would make things interesting

BYU is not getting into any P5 in 2019 or beyond. Never. Social media has

10/23/19 2:01pm

Ha you really don't think a G5 wouldn't take the money that BYU brings to their

Tuskaloosa Cougar

10/23/19 2:02pm

That would only be the MWC. Sounds like the AAC is no longer interested

TNT

I think pac is off table indefinitely. I think big 12 could theoretically still

cougfanz

10/23/19 2:04pm

A G5 would because no one would protest

Pro Logic

10/23/19 2:04pm

You might be surprised

TNT

10/23/19 2:08pm

Apparently USU would still protest.

Frowny face isn't because I disagree.........

sadly I think you are correct, sir

Boise and CU are travel partners?

molodyets

10/23/19 2:07pm

No. Utah & Boise and BYU & Colorado

I think it’s more that boise could fit between the Pacific Northwest & the

This is the only scenario where BYU might have a chance at P5. The only one.

10/23/19 2:08pm

If the AZ schools left and that was the expansion options, Oregon and USC would

molodyets

10/23/19 2:14pm

Arizona and ASU take a huge market with them.

Brigham

10/23/19 2:43pm

I don't see why the Big 12 would take both Arizona schools

Doogal McCougar

10/23/19 2:52pm

USC is not going anywhere and why would they want Colorado back? Both AZ schools

The only way BYU gets an invite to a P5 conference is...

BYU WILL NEVER GO TO THE PAC 12

Who’s dreaming?

Tuskaloosa Cougar

10/23/19 2:48pm

Well your first post says BYU gets in. So that's dreaming. It won't happen.

BeardedCougar

I didn’t say I was a wishing upon my lucky star or dreaming about it ha

Because the presidents of the schools care about that stuff and they are the

BeardedCougar

But why do they care?

Research school reason is a red herring

baldcoug74

10/23/19 5:34pm

There would be no replacements, they would stay with 10

It's stupid to think ASU and UofA would leave. Arizona has closer ties to

Unless they are sick and tired of their boss. A better boss may make the jump

SUAVO

No. Geography will keep them PAC12. Schools more prestigious and better

GilbertAZCougar

10/23/19 10:51pm

It's gotta be about more than geography. It's a new age. Geography means less

SUAVO

BYU's odds of joining are next to zero, Boise's chances are zero.

Hill4Heisman

10/23/19 4:45pm

Sadly, I think Boise State's chances would be better than BYU's. 🙁

BleedCougarBlue2

Man if they left I’d want BYU

FWIW, the ASU prez and Church get along very. Long shot help.
