It's a P2 + 2 world now. Maybe P2 +3. We'll see. 16 team playoff will save us all.

After listening to a bunch of national shows I am quite concerned

The power structure is condensing from P5 to a P2

Nah it will at least be a P 3. The ACC or Big 12 will survive…but will

If it is going in the direction I think, I am not sure BYU wants/can play there.

BYU was never close to the inside of it. We were celebrating getting into the glorified P5 even with

Oh absolutely it just stinks it won’t be a real power league anymore

You're not wrong, but it was the best option available

Where have we heard that before?

Dark Forest Green

Do people still actually think independence was a dumb thing?

🤣not many, but the 'best option' means we're on the outside looking in, again.

For BYU, nothing much has changed since yesterday. It is not as if the B12 was on par with the SEC and B10 before this

Of course not. But it was always meant to be a steppingstone, not a destination.

Lots of eye rolls but not a lot of rebuttals

It only seems logical that everyone not named B1G and SEC need to merge

I can guarantee Utah has reached out to them

They have to. Beginning yesterday, anyone not contacting the B1G or SEC is

I'd say that "state schools" are at a general disadvantage in this matter, but

Still way better to be in the Big 12 then where we have been.
