They have better options than a school with few fans outside of Salt Lake County.

The other BIG12 fans are already asking for it. It makes sense

Fan opinion has little to nothing to do with expansion decisions.

I detest Utah, but they will be picked up by either the Big12 or someone else

What’s the opposite of POTD? Where are you hearing that about Stanford?

As a marketing veteran it’s offensive that Utah keeps calling themselves a brand

Offends don’t begin to describe it for me. But for different reasons.

So, on the issue of Stanford, is Tanner McKee in the transfer portal yet?

Don't forget that the B12 will have the best BB conference. No way they want that turd of a program on the hill.

Stanford will drop football before they join the Big XII

PortlandCoug

6/30/22 10:56pm

Football and bb the revenue for the athletic department. Doubt they let it die.

Whoa, Utah played in the Rose Bowl?!?! Why has no Utah fan mentioned it!?

Did they win? I’m sure Utah would dominate being such a strong big boy brand…

The_Cuss

7/1/22 12:52am

Especially if the other team has most of its starters sit out.

They did better than win.

The Utah "brand" is solidified. Nobody picks Stanford over Utah.

It's NOT about brand, prestige, or winning. It's about fans and money.

I doubt very much BYU’s President and BOT opposes adding Utah

runningryan

6/30/22 11:13pm

BYU doesn’t have a vote either. They aren’t a voting member of the B12 until

Soy Celeste

Very true, but if it did, BYU wouldn’t oppose bringing Utah in.

runningryan

7/1/22 5:47am

Why would Stanford join football for those conferences? Makes zero sense.

The Holy War is big $$$$$$$ the Big12, BYU, and Utah would benefit. Pride aside.

AltTabbins

You think one rivalry game a year makes it a strong play to add Utah to BIG12

The_Cuss

7/1/22 12:54am

One game? Silly comment!

Soy Celeste

Utah simply isn't a big brand outside SL county

Simply not true.

If Utah is pursuing the Big 12, that means the Big 10 already said no. Likely,

fbguru

7/1/22 5:27am

Utah/Colorado to the B1G could happen.

Baylorbears11

7/1/22 7:30am

Utah/Colorado could also go to the MWC. That’s more likely than the B1G.

The_Cuss

BYU is not a voting member of the B12.

Soy Celeste

The best part is the OP really believes this.

ordinary tri guy

7/1/22 7:08am

BYU would welcome Utah in the Big12 and would help them get in.

I completely agree with you.

I don't think Utah wants the B12. They are happy in P12.

"Utah is it's own brand" Sorry to literally LOL but outside of the boarders of the state of Utah...they aren't a "brand"

TheLoneCougar

The only brand they have is the one they leave on the west concourse.
