In Ben Criddle’s unofficial poll, 60 something percent of cougar fans

I don’t get it. Are you arguing we should be like Yewts?

MogollonMtsCoug

ONLY if it is necessary to also grab other PAC schools.

Benfica1

7/2/22 9:42am

And yet, 60-something% are dead wrong.

Snipe

7/2/22 9:42am

The U of U would destroy BYU sports if they could. They’ve already tried. They

BlooCoog

They bring zero additional value to the Big XII. They are a net negative.

You were wrong the first 7 times you posted this.

Go away, oh you can't, there is no where else to go

Link to your proof that I am incorrect? Even PAC homer Wilner says it.

BYUtka

7/2/22 10:05am

Wilner has mixed motives. If AZ schools, Utah, Colorado leave. He's out of a job

here's to hoping

7/2/22 11:31am

Ok, what do they bring exactly? Why would the Big12 choose Utah over, say, Colo

yahtzee

7/2/22 11:11am

According to the WSJ they are one of the 20 most valuable college football

Utefaninenemyland

7/2/22 11:15am

Link?

....Wall Street Journal had Utah #37

krindorr

7/2/22 12:54pm

Where WSJ ranks various Big 12 / PAC12 teams in value

krindorr

7/2/22 1:02pm

How is value being calculated. That prob presupposes contracted tv revenue

yahtzee

7/2/22 1:21pm

Presumably, which is one reason I had the note at the end

krindorr

7/2/22 1:24pm

Yeah sorry corrected in another thread, they were referring to Utah being 14th

Utefaninenemyland

7/2/22 1:24pm

Thank you for correcting your lie.

I can tell you that ESPN's valuation numbers are very different than what the WSJ shows, especially after the top 12-15

slatecoug

7/2/22 6:15pm

Always like to see different perspectives - didn't know ESPN had a public list. Do you have a link?

krindorr

7/2/22 6:18pm

There's a few in the top 15 according to WSJ that ESPN does not agree with.

slatecoug

7/2/22 6:20pm

If Utah is interested, than the big 12 will be interested.

cougar4life55

7/2/22 2:07pm

Will they? Will a broadcast partner really be willing to pay enough more for

BYUtka

7/2/22 2:17pm

Keeping telling yourself this.

Utefaninenemyland

7/2/22 2:26pm

Link to your proof I am incorrect? You keep responding to my posts like a creepy

BYUtka

7/2/22 2:33pm

In fairness, neither of you have provided evidence for your claims

krindorr

7/2/22 4:01pm

To be fair, It’s obvious that Utah is pick #5 from the PAC12. So does it matter?

The_Cuss

7/2/22 5:46pm

That's because they were playing USC, UCLA, OR, and UW

slatecoug

7/2/22 6:10pm

As a BYU guy I am not naïve enoungh to suggest Colorado is worth more than Yewta

Dat_rmishner

7/2/22 11:53am

CO brings a bigger TV market. UT brings a better FB team.

Forzaitalia

7/2/22 1:41pm

You don't add Colorado or Utah. Neither brings much.

slatecoug

7/2/22 6:09pm

This is accurate, but to not invite them just to get back at them is not the BYU way

2FarGone

7/2/22 10:25am

Right, so don't invite them because adding them reduces our payouts. It doesn't

BYUtka

7/2/22 10:32am

Utah is a, remote, but possible big 10 addition. In no way should BYU EVER give

Kajdin

7/2/22 9:47am

Honestly, B1G would have to expand to 26 teams to get that far.

RealityCheck

7/2/22 10:03am

Maryland is already in the Big 10.... Just FYI

krindorr

7/2/22 1:04pm

Only if the b1g is interested in charity considering they’d

BYU '80

7/2/22 10:11am

The only place Utah wouldn't be a net negative addition would be the MWC.

BYUtka

7/2/22 10:13am

That is why they were selected by the pac 12 10 years ago. Oh yeah religious

Utefaninenemyland

7/2/22 10:41am

The PAC made a desperate knee jerk reaction then, thinking they had to expand.

BYUtka

7/2/22 10:56am

Research school. The Pac 12 is looking more and more like the Ivy League.

People miss the old days when we shared a conference And we dominated them.

Where you end up on this question seems largely based on whether you are

Gavin

For me it’s the opposite. My heart yearns to have an epic annual rivalry

BYUCLA

7/2/22 9:58am

I’m a hack.

Bluedomination

7/2/22 9:59am

Would help BYUs recruiting significantly if Utah went down

BYU '80

7/2/22 10:13am

That’s a very fair counterpoint.

Gavin

7/2/22 10:15am

Seems like the two schools who have hurt us the most in recruiting are Stanford

I’m on the opposite spectrum, my heart says the rivalry is fun, my brain says

Zaphod

Listen to his podcast.

Bluedomination

7/2/22 10:48am

I’m sure that includes a lot of Utes who listen to his show.

deja-blu

7/2/22 11:28am

There is a reason we call them Yewts; Don't be a Yewt

2FarGone

7/2/22 10:24am

Wow--that may speak more to who listens to Ben Criddle.

Incentivize

7/2/22 10:31am

Or follows him on Twitter. Yewts are all over Twitter. It is an infestation.

BYUtka

7/2/22 10:33am

Criddle has a lot of Ute followers. They love to hate him.

yahtzee

7/2/22 11:11am

Since 90% of their fanbase is made up of a bunch of clowns, I’m going with that.

WDaddy

7/2/22 11:44am

Lots of those are Ute fans voting.
