This is an under-appreciated point of Big 12 inclusion.

You seem to be forgetting that BYU is the PAC South Champion already.

Yep, supremacy of the pac12 south this year has already been decided, and it ain’t Utah.

Fair enough. BYU has been awesome this year. But it's like losing to Oregon State

Because he is a fantastic player. Joining a terrific class

Okay. Well, from what you can gather in Utah recruiting. What makes you think the program is headed to decline?
