Geography is really only down side to B12 but other things outweigh that 10 fold.

Geography is a two edged sword. I'm really looking forward to fewer late games.

Do you think our home games will still be late kickoffs?

Home games will still be a mixed bag, but with our whole the entire conference

The Big 12 geography is great for many BYU fans and alumni

I’ve been to a few WSU games which have always had full or close to full stands.

Totally agree 100%. The Pac 12 will always have the prestige advantage compared

The country already disrespects the PAC. They simply aren’t in any conversation

Racism is rampant on BYU’s campus? This kind of delusion only happens when life has become so good and comfortable that
