They are when it comes to scheduling. They don't want to pay us more, but they want us to have games that will draw eyes

PAC 12 and Big 12 merger? Meeting happening today.

Of course.

Death, taxes, and crappy things happening to BYU

Backcountry

8/3/21 10:18am

BYU is gonna get screwed

Backcountry

8/3/21 10:18am

Yep. Both a merger or a scheduling agreement would be bad news for BYU.

immacougar

8/3/21 10:26am

At that point the only way BYU could survive as indy would be for ESPN to set up a scheduling agreement between BYU and

ESPN is not our friend

This is a given.

I'm not sure how many more data points we need to show the major conferences

At any point in this process, did you actually think otherwise?

This is the absolute worst possible scenario for BYU

LiveCoug

8/3/21 10:18am

Again? The absolute worst was 10

johnnycarson

And because this is the absolute worst possible scenario for BYU

Agree. But I doubt the PAC is interested in any merger/alliance with all of the

rocker

8/3/21 10:22am

Yep. If PAC wants any at all, it would only be a couple & rest are kicked to curb.

Well that’s not good for us.

I don't see what is in it for the PAC12.

a priori

8/3/21 10:19am

Correct. The PAC 12 would not benefit financially by taking any of the remaining Big 12 schools.

Conan

8/3/21 10:21am

PAC gets several quality programs in the only sports that matter and maybe

Charles Darwin

8/3/21 10:25am

PAC 12's better move is to get an OOC scheduling alliance with the B1G

Doogal McCougar

Are all big 12 colleges tier 1 research institutions?

CarolinaCoug

8/3/21 10:19am

TCU and Baylor are not

Tare

8/3/21 10:26am

That rule only applies to BYU

El Careeb

8/3/21 10:27am

They going to make it the PAC 20? Or will they trim some bottom feeders?

Powerbait DPM

8/3/21 10:20am

Probably discussing BYUs entrance to the Big12 and how the Pac12 can still

thewaterboy

8/3/21 10:26am

I bet they are meeting to discuss how much

johnnycarson

8/3/21 10:28am

BYU MUST be part of this agreement. Four games a year with each conference.

AF Cougar

8/3/21 10:28am

BYU needs bowl access as well

mncstr

8/3/21 10:52am

Discussion will be how to move forward after their defections...

BruceBruce

8/3/21 10:28am

Is there any credence to those P12 teams being picked off?

Dr T-bone

8/3/21 10:33am

I doubt anything happens

YIsForBrigham

8/3/21 10:30am

A few good B12 programs remaining, but don't see much benefit for P12

Dr T-bone

8/3/21 10:31am

With the landscape shifting like it is there are lots of things to discuss that

Scratch

8/3/21 10:31am

I get that, but the tweet is specifically mentioning a merger or scheduling

cougarfan84

8/3/21 10:35am

Pac 12 doesnt want any of their teams poached

WJCougar

8/3/21 10:32am

Why would the PAC12 throw a lifeline to the Orphaned 8? They would likely rather

BluesBrother

8/3/21 10:33am

Keep in mind the B1G could poach the PAC of USC, Stanford, UCLA, Cal, WA, and Oregon.

runningryan

B12-PAC scheduling alliance would be wonderful if BYU gets B12 invite
