Yes. The Big12 wanted to make sure they dominated the Texas market and the Pac12 wanted to expand into the SLC market

That’s exactly the reason both of them were added. Nothing else.

I know an assoc. AD of a P5 school. If BYU wants to get into a P5...

Unless football only the biggest thing is play on Sundays. No conference is

10/18/20 1:35pm

True. $ also might open p5 doors post covid. BYU's contributions will weigh more

I'm Dynamite

10/18/20 1:35pm

I assume you are talking about an Arizona pac 12 school

OU Cougar

10/18/20 1:37pm

He’s not in AZ. I think your conclusion might be correct.

ForzaPuma

10/18/20 3:02pm

I just don’t believe that answer.

DirtyWater

10/18/20 1:39pm

Next time, talk to a P5 president.

Everyman

10/18/20 1:43pm

Covid $ losses could open that expansion door. Our size could get us in it.

I'm Dynamite

10/18/20 1:50pm

If it were up to AD’s, BYU probably would have been in a P5 a long time ago.

che flaco

10/18/20 1:44pm

False. Nobody wins their way into a P5 league. That’s not how it works. If that were true, we’d have been P5 long ago

YIsForBrigham

Way ahead of Utah.

Soy Celeste

10/18/20 4:52pm

How you know so much!? You don’t think Utah and TCUs success had anything to do

Pretorian

10/18/20 5:09pm

Had zero to do with it. It was purely because of TV markets

YIsForBrigham

10/18/20 5:18pm

😂😂😂 Utah doesn’t own their own market especially not at that time

Pretorian

10/18/20 5:43pm

Conf. expansion was about # of TVs in the area, not # of people watching a team

cougarmeister

10/18/20 8:54pm

Well that makes more sense, sad

Pretorian

10/19/20 6:07am

Because TCU delivered eyeballs that Texas, Tech, or Baylor weren’t delivering?

The Chelsea Dagger

10/18/20 6:27pm

Yes. The Big12 wanted to make sure they dominated the Texas market and the Pac12 wanted to expand into the SLC market

Way to go TA&M!!!

10/18/20 7:17pm

That still doesn't explain TCU over Houston, Rice, or SMU. If Texas TV market

The Chelsea Dagger

Exactly , which is kinda pathetic for a school so small vs those guys

Pretorian

Getting drunk with the Texas ad worked for tcu

BYU '80

10/18/20 5:56pm

That. And not be BYU. Those two things would get us in.

bluesloth

10/18/20 1:46pm

Yep, that’s the formula that worked for Rutgers and Maryland. Oh, wait.

chilango

10/18/20 1:50pm

But it worked for Utah and TCU

cougargollum

10/18/20 2:46pm

That’s not really the reason Wyoming and Nevada didn’t get the invite. They

chilango

10/18/20 4:22pm

This is just baloney. Colorado didn’t get an offer to the pac 12 because

HRCougar

10/18/20 1:50pm

Does your friend fail to acknowledge the political fallout from a BYU invite?

franklyvulgar

10/18/20 1:50pm

This is why I am consigned to our indy status. Let's make the most of it.

kiyoshige

10/18/20 2:17pm

There's nothing wrong with hoping

cougargollum

10/18/20 2:52pm

Something your friend also failed to tell you...

TheLost

10/18/20 2:05pm

That’s not true. No school of a recently expanded league sustained a loss of money. In fact, all of them made a lot

YIsForBrigham

10/18/20 2:09pm

And adding BYU means more $ than adding almost any other non-P5 team.

I'm Dynamite

10/18/20 2:14pm

Recently Expanded? what conference 'recently expanded'?

TheLost

10/19/20 8:40am

Makes no sense. Tell your friend to rethink this

WallaX2

10/18/20 2:13pm

Seems like that's an easy answer so he doesn't have to actually answer

SUAVO

10/18/20 2:21pm

This is simply the stupidest argument of all time #rutgers #maryland

Cougeye

10/18/20 2:58pm

Colorado was pretty lousy when they got invited too

Scooter

10/18/20 3:31pm

And Arizona too, if you go back a little further. Along with South Carolina.

chilango

10/18/20 4:32pm

I think most of you missed the point. If you don’t win, you don’t get in.

ForzaPuma

10/18/20 3:01pm

Also, if you win, you don't get in (for BYU). That's the part you are missing.

He's either ignorant, or didn't want to tell the truth as you say. Nobody likes

If that were true Boise St. would be in a P5 conference...

BYU is not getting into a P5.

Academic freedom is the biggest issue.

False. Religious bigotry.

10/18/20 6:29pm

From the point of view of the academics who run elite universities, it is

chilango

10/18/20 6:50pm

False, we'd be in in the 80s or 90s. Rutgers would not

Yep, that’s how Rutgers did it.

truecougster

10/18/20 7:12pm

I don't buy it. No one else admitted to P5 had that requirement.

BornNotBuilt

10/18/20 7:18pm

LOL that has zero to do with it. It's all about the money.

Assoc. AD over non-Olympic sports, lacrosse, field hockey, e-sports?
