I think they add value, but I still don't want them in our conference.

Gross. Utah adds near zero value.

How? They are the only P12 school that wouldn’t add territory.

Value isn’t only about territory

Ok, they wouldn’t add viewers.

I hate Utah as much as anyone on here, but they would add nearly 1m viewers.

The dirty secret is half a mil of those viewers were BYU fans

Not disputing that, but the same could be said for our viewership numbers.

Are they also throwing the Brooklyn Bridge into that sales pitch?

I totally Agree as of today. But what if they start losing? KWhitt will retire.

At least as much value as BYU. Sorry if you don’t like that fact. I can show you

They actually subtract value from BYU. Don’t let ‘em in

I dislike Utah as much as the next guy. But they add value to the Big 12.

What value? What do they bring?

About as much value as BYU.

In Big12 country? Not a chance.

Can do that with the two AZ schools. Don't need Utah for that.

Other than Oregon and UW, this is the best move for the Big 12. I hate to say it
macdizzle

Should take 2 and then wait to see what UO and UW decide
GlutealGuy

Take all 4 and then take them too if they don’t go to the Big 10

I just don’t know if all 4 bring enough revenue to go to 16

Big12 should be all in on Oregon and Washington.

They probably are but that doesn’t mean Oregon and Washington are interested.

Big12 will have a much stronger negotiating position once the PAC is dead.
KingDave

Sadly, I agree. I don’t want Utah in the B12 but it’ll kill the PAC more quickly

Why would UT already be in discussions with the Big12 if the B1G was an option?
jrifkin48
7/3/22 4:54pm
Because Ute administration isn’t stupid. Just the fans. They’d be about the 8-10
canofpicante
7/3/22 7:47pm
TNT could live with this deal. The conference would be stronger
TNT
7/3/22 4:54pm
So Oregon and Washington must be off the table if true. Otherwise we’d be dumb
ColonelMustard

Either not interested or fairly confident in the B1G

Of course. They must be getting together to discuss vacation destinations!

They can always come later if the PAC10 is destroyed and B1G doesn’t want them.

If Utah is included in the Big 12, I say they have to pay an extra 10 million a year to BYU for being nice & welcoming.
