I never made the case that Utah would fall below the leftovers in the PAC12, I said their current upward trend would lose momentum and the gap between the Utes and the big boys would start to widen again (it’s been closing). You won’t address that point.

And to your second question, where do the recruits go? More go to the superpower conference teams as they have more money and better NIL deals and then Utah has to compete on the same ground as all the other have nots in the west, not just the leftovers from the PAC12. All of the sudden Utah doesn’t get to boast about the P5 status etc. They will be able to say we are the top of the leftovers. Not a convincing story vs their past P5 status. But you can’t accept the fact that Utah has benefited greatly from riding the PAC12 train and being on equal footing with other P5 teams. That matters more than you think it does.

You obviously can’t comprehend a scenario where Utah isn’t in the best position no matter the situation which clearly showcases your red colored glasses and spiked red punch. In the meantime keep spending time on your rivals board obsessing over BYU fans’ opinions.
