Because we would have gotten bumped for Utah to play The Huskies anyways....
The PAC12 conference terms are ridiculous this season, which is why most PAC12 teams will only play 4 or 5 games this season. It’s like contract law. There are fair deals that are Win/Win for both sides, and then there are lopsided screw jobs that are written to protect only the party that drafted them. And right now their conference terms are even cannibalizing their own teams. ASU and Utah have only played 1 freakin game each, and it’s the end of November.
