The joke may be on BYU. Utah may very well get a life ring from the Big10. BYU

It would be a crazy nightmare if Utah gets a B1G invite. A few national guys

Why would Big Ten be willing to lose money in order to invite Utah. Utah doesn't make the pie bigger

Killing off the ACC makes the pie bigger because it gets rid of that TV deal and there's more money to spread around

Utah got taken before BYU before, TCU, Rutgers got into the Big 10. . .

That's more an indictment of the PAC12 than a sign of Utah's worth to the B1G.

7/2/22 9:50pm

The B1G doesn’t need Utah. The other examples you listed were conferences looking for stability

Right and neither do you. You also don’t have $$ backing your position

Huh?? Purdue has been a longtime member of the B1G. No lifeline there.

How many schools would the Big 10 prefer over Utah?

And Kansas brings a strong MBB brand that just won the NC.

So UW and UO doesn't move the needle, but Utah does?

Jeffacka

7/2/22 9:32pm

Right. Utah is what the B1G is after. Not Oregon or UW.

7/2/22 9:35pm

Utah would likely need to be worth $100M in media rights to make it worth it

Stalwart Man

Utah is not on the B1G’s radar at all. Posts like these are pure comedy.

The big 12 is more likely to get stronger than weaker because of this.
