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

TempeCoug

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.

VACOUGFAN

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

BamaCoug

7/5/22 9:53am

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

HarlemCoug

7/5/22 10:04am

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

7/5/22 12:12pm

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

SLIVER

7/5/22 9:56am

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

7/5/22 10:01am

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

SnickSnack

7/5/22 10:09am

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

stgeorgecougar

7/5/22 10:36am

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

7/5/22 1:27pm

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

Pretorian

7/5/22 1:58pm

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

here's to hoping

^^^^^ bingo

Pretorian

7/5/22 12:25pm

Everybody in the Big12 out recruits us.

7/5/22 10:59am

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

Pretorian

7/5/22 12:27pm

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

Stalwartbob

7/5/22 1:18pm

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

This is about power and prestige...

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

BYU Fan

7/5/22 10:21am

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

BYU Fan

7/5/22 10:43am

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

here's to hoping

If I take 4 it’s washington Oregon Arizona ASU. If I take 6 Colorado and stanfor

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

The_Cuss

7/5/22 9:16am

Agree

runningryan

7/5/22 9:22am

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

pink22

7/5/22 9:25am

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

stonecougar

7/5/22 9:38am

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

HarlemCoug

Same reason Utah tried to kill BYU.

I think they are

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

CaliWG

7/5/22 9:37am

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

moknowssports

Exactly, so why accept Utah into the Big12!

sah22

B12 was ready and primed to add more teams.

We’re number 3! We’re number 3!

Heath Squashwell

7/5/22 10:27am

In some cases that is better than being number 2

runningryan

7/5/22 10:44am

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