It seems their legislature may force them to stay in a weakened P12. The ACC is possible, but what a terrible situation

HarlemCoug Free to change my mind

for recruits (especially Olympic sports recruits)...

"Don't go there... you'd be in a conference where all of your road games are 2,000 miles away against teams you don't really care about." Seems like an easy line for BYU to use against them...

Yep. Big 12 gets aggressive because they have a real chance to become #3.

Currently the big 12 is number three and buy acting aggressively they preserve

I’m not sure they are and weren’t going to be with Texas and OU leaving.

Another interesting quote from the article:

That was a surprise to me. Makes me think Big 12 needs to gun for those two

I agree but IMO the way to get those 2 schools is to nuke the PAC by taking

I don't think you need all 4 "corner" schools.

Snipe

7/5/22 9:35am

2 AZ schools and UW and UO. That would be the best scenario, IMO.

I don't like UO and UW in the B12. They out recruit us on the regular. We need them to die. Take AZ and AZ St to

HarlemCoug

I can see that side of it as well.

VACOUGFAN

7/5/22 9:52am

Sorry, but OU and UW are "too big to die" and will land somewhere for sure

That could definitely be a fly in the ointment if UW/WSU has to be a package dea

BamaCoug

7/5/22 1:04pm

UW/UO's three alternatives are BigXII, MWC or invite top MWC schools to the PACX

UO and UW would be two of the biggest brands in the Big12. We need them and need

Just because it's good for the B12... doesn't mean it's good for BYU. UO lands more of the top 5 recruits out of

HarlemCoug

What's good for the B12 is good for BYU. How can you not see what is going on in

SnickSnack

I agree. We need some big brands otherwise we will always be relegated to MWC

stgeorgecougar

On the flip side a temporarily "weakened" Pac12 isn't good either.

VACOUGFAN

7/5/22 10:13am

They go to UO because it WAS a much stronger program than BYU

Pretorian

7/5/22 12:23pm

Recruits go to UO because of the fancy Nike facilities.

Dryfire

That is a possibility too I suppose, I don’t think that should cause us

With UO and UW the Big 12 makes more money per school and has a better shot of

Everybody in the Big12 out recruits us.

Ever since we got in the B12 😂 you mean since a few months ago… and having a

Well, not sure what you mean about a shot at 4/5 star recruits

The problem is we really didn't get a clean apples to apples comparison. With

Replace Arizona with Colorado - Ducks, Huskies, Devils & Buffs to the Big 12

BYU Fan

Other than the Denver market (which seems indifferent to college football)

here's to hoping

7/5/22 10:30am

If Colorado joins than the Big 12 can claim 2 national titles in the past 30 yrs

I had the thought that if Big 12 courts CU and Utah, along with arizona

This is also why UTAH should not be invited if you are a BYU fan. Own the market

The_Cuss

Agree

runningryan

7/5/22 9:22am

If you’re the B12 you want both. Then you control the whole market AND the BYU

No offense, but it’s like saying you paid off your entire Kia. When there’s a

I don't think that's how it works

whoneedscorners?

7/5/22 9:42am

Why would the B12 care about owning the whole SLC market? It's a small market. The P12 got it right years ago, there

Same reason Utah tried to kill BYU.

Which begs the question: At what point do you have plenty of money?

CaliWG

I sort of alluded to that yesterday but there is also the Law of Diminishing Returns

runningryan

7/5/22 10:16am

yup. This isn't the NFL where you have a huge salary obligation to your players.

CaliWG

7/5/22 10:20am

And in some cases NIL could fill the gap

Football pays for all of the other sports too, so you can always improve those

Exactly, so why accept Utah into the Big12!

B12 was ready and primed to add more teams.

In some cases that is better than being number 2

That's the right stance. Clemson, UNC & the ACC FL(s) school will eventually
