I know BYU administrators felt pretty jilted when

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

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

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

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

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

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

Would help BYUs recruiting significantly if Utah went down

That’s a very fair counterpoint.

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

Listen to his podcast.

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

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

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

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