and put pressure on UO and UW to make a decision.

The ultimate backfire would be that they agree to join the B12 but then back out last minute when the B1G comes calling. And then we’re still stuck with Utah.

Arizona 247 site reporting that Arizona, ASU, Colorado and Utah are meeting with Big 12 Tuesday.

Gross. Utah adds near zero value.

DirtyWater

7/3/22 4:49pm

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

bbqoug

7/3/22 4:53pm

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

DirtyWater

7/3/22 4:55pm

Value isn’t only about territory

molodyets

7/3/22 4:59pm

Ok, they wouldn’t add viewers.

DirtyWater

As much as it pains me to say, they are the only one of those four

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

Big McLargeHuge

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?

Les IsMore

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

This is a ridiculous statement

When was the last time Utah beat a team from any of those conferences? 5 years?

Not really.

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

At least the Big 12 is taking action

pappabear246

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

BYU-Laie

7/3/22 8:13pm

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

Vert der Frick

7/3/22 8:57pm

What value? What do they bring?

BYUtka

7/3/22 9:10pm

About as much value as BYU.

Vert der Frick

7/3/22 9:44pm

In Big12 country? Not a chance.

NorthernLight

This isn't anywhere close to true.

Stability to the conference.

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

So glad the Big 12 is moving fast. No time to waste.

TempeCoug

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

macdizzle

7/3/22 4:51pm

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

GlutealGuy

7/3/22 4:54pm

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

macdizzle

7/3/22 4:55pm

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

GlutealGuy

7/3/22 5:08pm

Big12 should be all in on Oregon and Washington.

byubyu

7/3/22 4:52pm

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

TempeCoug

7/3/22 4:54pm

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

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

Not necessarily. Just forcing the issue.

We have no idea what the intended result of these meetings are. Just that they are happening.

molodyets

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

calblue

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

canofpicante

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.
