We have a lot of fans and alumni in Texas and Florida that will soon have frequent BYU road games in their backyards. Also, Ohio and West Virginia are easy driving distance for a lot of BYU fans in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic regions.

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

Not about trading fans. It's about destination.

College football’s best atmospheres come from small “college” towns.

Agreed, the Baylor atmosphere compared to WSU was drastic

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

The woke commercials for the PAC 12 were painful to watch. More worried about

I didn't watch a single commercial. Too busy talking to friends during the breaks

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

Disrespectful & unintelligent comment. Self-awareness is needed.
