I agree with you. I'm pretty sure it is not UW who leaked the discussion going on, but someone within the PAC12 offices

I'd love to see BYU play UW, but the PAC12 can't act like BYU is purely a fall back plan.

Just here to say it's not Washington's fault.

The leak is UW's fault.

Benfica1

11/23/20 10:47am

probably, but could be PAC office

11/23/20 10:48am

Sounds about right.

I think this is the doing of Larry Scott.

We don’t know that. Social media and immediate conclusions makes us all dumber

MatthiasPhunkHausen

What does UW/PAC get out of leaking it?

Z-Ute

11/23/20 12:41pm

That's a great question. Why do YOU think someone at UW or the PAC12 offices...

Eddie

11/23/20 12:57pm

Back up the headband!

Z-Ute

11/23/20 2:34pm

You've got some of your information wrong, it would seem.

Eddie

11/23/20 2:48pm

You keep flipping!

Z-Ute

11/23/20 3:40pm

UW responded to the call for a fight with...

Eddie

11/23/20 4:01pm

Because you need a P5 to be taken seriously

Z-Ute

11/23/20 4:09pm

Which is why the whole UW callout was disingenuous from the very beginning.

Eddie

11/23/20 4:23pm

Their way telling others to read the fine print on the headbands and tweets?

Z-Ute

11/23/20 4:55pm

Sorry - that's not my conspiracy theory.

Eddie

11/23/20 6:16pm

Consider this: You are arguing with a Yewt. Time to floss the cat.

Hmmmm, misinformation right before the CFP rankings with OR ranked below BYU...?

Benfica1

This ^^^

Little Mac

11/23/20 1:30pm

Why, PAC Champ is in the NY6 no matter what.

Z-Ute

11/23/20 2:36pm

Well, they need to move up in the rankings if they want a remote shot at CFP.

Benfica1

11/23/20 3:00pm

It's UW or Oregon that come out of the North

Z-Ute

11/23/20 3:52pm

Read for comprehension. OR wants to be ranked as high as possible in the first

Benfica1

11/23/20 4:09pm

Oregon doesn't need it!

Z-Ute

11/23/20 4:14pm

Um, sure.

Benfica1

11/23/20 4:24pm

P5s have interest in keeping outsiders out. If you don't see that you're blind.

IceCreamButt

11/23/20 1:19pm

The PAC doesn't keep anyone out, the committee does.

Z-Ute

11/23/20 2:37pm

Nope, but letting outsiders in decreases their chances of getting prime spots.

IceCreamButt

11/23/20 2:44pm

Make BYU look dumb, keep us out of playoff or NY6 discussions, etc.

thaws

11/23/20 1:34pm

No way BYU is getting into the CFP

Z-Ute

11/23/20 2:40pm

Then that's UW's problem, not BYU's. No reasonable person can expect a school to

Washington leaked the "story"

JuicyJam

11/23/20 10:47am

I agree with you. I'm pretty sure it is not UW who leaked the discussion going on, but someone within the PAC12 offices

specsauce

11/23/20 10:48am

There are like, what, 3 people left in P12 offices these days?

zonacougar

11/23/20 11:21am

Yep. They fired all the plumbers

Coooooogs

11/23/20 12:07pm

it's not washington's fault that a damaging leak smearing BYU

Cougarclaw

11/23/20 10:48am

Then Washington shouldn't be leaking trash to reporters.

BYUtka

11/23/20 10:48am

Thanks for stopping in.

whoneedscorners?

11/23/20 10:48am

If UW's motives are pure, why not make a statement to ease the hate a little?

DraperCoug22

11/23/20 10:51am

Maybe because both AD's know what's going on and they prefer not

rockhound

11/23/20 10:53am

This has gotten way bigger than business. This is major public perception.

DraperCoug22

11/23/20 10:59am

Washington already did their business in the public arena.

Eddie

11/23/20 11:03am

Because they don’t kneejerk react to social media

MatthiasPhunkHausen

11/23/20 11:11am

It's because they aren't the ones that look bad...

DraperCoug22

11/23/20 11:15am

I agree. Being Independent has it's upside.

rockhound

11/23/20 10:51am

I'd love to know the source of the leak. I'm equal parts Washington and BYU fan

Salami Karate

11/23/20 10:52am

I'm going to believe it is the Pac12 league office and not UW until evidence

Little Mac

11/23/20 10:55am

The source is obviously on the PAC-12 side. Of that, there can be no doubt.

spoxjox

11/23/20 11:00am

UW: not our fault we leaked a story that makes BYU look bad and made no attempt

IceCreamButt

11/23/20 10:56am

Most of us get that (even if we can't resist a little snark about UW ducking BYU in 1984)

kccougar

11/23/20 11:00am

Not entirely, no. But someone leaked it to try to make BYU look bad. Sounds like it was somebody at UW.

John Doe

I think we agree with you. Just didn’t like the taste of the bus tires

BYU '80

11/23/20 11:19am

You seem reasonable. Maybe you should stick around.

SingleStrapBackpack

11/23/20 11:29am

Maybe so...but "sources" are saying it's on BYU. PAC12 can go to hades.

Preppy

11/23/20 11:30am

PAC-12 taking care of it's own....

Z-Ute

11/23/20 12:40pm

I'm OK with the PAC taking care of the PAC.

Eddie

And if you're (thanks) not scared, prove it!

That one was right over your head wasn't it!

Z-Ute

No...but apparently it went right over yours.

Eddie

DraperCoug22

But to answer your question,

DraperCoug22

11/23/20 3:16pm

I get that.

Z-Ute

11/23/20 3:21pm

BYU is prepared to prove it. UW is not.

Eddie

11/23/20 2:56pm

You mean scared to play Army?

Z-Ute

11/23/20 3:12pm

What money does it cost UW to agree to play the game without backing out?

Eddie

11/23/20 3:28pm

How can they guarantee the game when it's not up to them?

Z-Ute

11/23/20 4:00pm

You are finally beginning to see the point.

Not you're point

Z-Ute

11/23/20 7:52pm

Let me guess. You're a product of the public education system in Utah?

John Doe

11/23/20 8:42pm

And now you're missing the point.

Eddie

11/23/20 6:18pm

It's about helping you...

Z-Ute

11/23/20 7:57pm

Nah - this was about UW helping UW.

Eddie

11/24/20 8:52am

Yeah, we know. The PAC12 is garbage.

JohnJohnsonAKAVicky

Good point. Respect.

I grew up a UW fan. Rooted for them as a frosh at BYU. UW is garbage.

Yup. This is VERY MUCH UW's fault.

What evidence do we have the Washington did anything here other than

UW does have access to media, right? All they had to do was...

And UW is a full member of the conference. Pretending they are a victim of the

BYUtka

11/24/20 1:23pm

If the conference is the one who did this - it wouldn't go well for UW...

Eddie

11/24/20 1:59pm

If UW did what I said, even the PC12 wouldn’t care. UW is 100% at fault...

doubleduce

11/24/20 3:35pm

But saying conversations are ongoing and fluid wouldn't do anything to dispel
