super-conference now seems unlikely. If you were the B1G and SEC, you're in control and you no longer need to worry about anyone else.

Wow. That's all I can say sitting here contemplating where this is all going to go.

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?

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.

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

I can guarantee Utah has reached out to them

Love his clear inference that Utah will dominate the XII if it becomes a member.

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