Dennis Dodd with a great July 5 update. Appears the Big 12 is being aggressive.

If Utah gets added, I'm going to be physically sick

Indy Coug

7/5/22 10:42am

I want Utah to shrivel and die as much as anyone. But they're an obvious add

Picking 4 of the best programs might not include the Yewts. It’s not a no

I would expect they wouldn't increase the value of a TV deal much

Belboz

7/5/22 10:48am

They really are not, when your conference is looking for stable value adds...

Coug

7/5/22 10:48am

Not true. The Holy War would be one of the best games in the Big 12 inventory

Doogal McCougar

Utah's TV numbers are heavily subsidized by dumb BYU fans that tune into them...

Coug

Why would the Big XII care who watches as long as they're watching?

The WAC expansion, however, expanded with teams that didn't generate enough revenue to offset travel costs

Bob Vance

7/5/22 10:55am

And my point remains... Utah doesn't add the value... neither does Colorado... neither does Arizona.

Coug

7/5/22 10:57am

One gain in adding any of the schools mentioned is it would kill off PAC

Belboz

Adding 2 of them officially kills that conference... it's already "mostly dead" - Miracle Max

I wouldn't be surprised, but they are far from obvious.

Show me some numbers. BYU already delivers the Utah market. What does Utah add?

Corn Pop

7/5/22 10:57am

Yeah, I don't see it. If BYU/U continue to play, the B12 will have broadcast

Except it hurts our recruiting big time

I 100% agree. I don't WANT Utah. But the Big12 does

Stanford over Utah all day long. UO, UW, ASU, Zona, CU, Cardinal and we ride!

SLIVER

7/5/22 12:59pm

Because it's sooo easy to play in the sandbox when Stanford is invited...

reddead

7/5/22 1:30pm

In the Pac12, Stanford's politics would fly. In Texas and the Big 12 not so much

SLIVER

I can think of 10 programs left in the pac 12 that I would take over them and 4

Now there is something more official rather than Wildcat authority. The race is

This would be awesome

letthewookieewin

7/5/22 10:43am

Obvious add: Arizona schools. Probable add: OU/Wash/CU/Utah. I assume those 6?

SUAVO

7/5/22 10:44am

I'd be happy with Arizona and ASU and stopping right there.

Belboz

7/5/22 10:49am

Not a bad idea. Stay at 14 after OU/UT leave. Whatever happens to the rest of

Still don't understand how a Pac-12/Big 12 merger makes any sense for the Big 12

TNT

7/5/22 10:46am

It removes the PAC-12 as a competing entity which removes the risk of any Big 12

cougarfan84

7/5/22 11:19am

Going to 18 teams, with 7 of them being from the West, makes little sense...

Coug

7/5/22 10:47am

Especially if they are hoping to add some ACC schools

TNT

7/5/22 10:54am

Fully agree. That’s why I’m surprised Utah, Colorado, and Arizona are being

BlooCoog

We need to remember WHY p12 is imploding ... because they aren't valuable brands

BIG12 Survival must first be ensured before worrying too much about

canofpicante

7/5/22 11:12am

The PAC12 was the least revenue producing conference in the country WITH USC and UCLA...

Coug

7/5/22 11:18am

And what would comp look like with the addition of the six best big 12 teams?

canofpicante

7/5/22 11:23am

With the threat of Washington and/or Oregon Leaving to the B10? less than what the BIG12 will make...

Coug

7/5/22 12:27pm

Yep. And if they leave you invite two more BIG12 teams.

canofpicante

7/5/22 2:28pm

That is primarily owing to the timing of their TV deal

Doogal McCougar

7/5/22 11:28am

The article literally says revenue difference between the 2 conferences (as they currently stand) would be negligible

krindorr

7/5/22 12:08pm

Which raises the outside possibility of a nightmare scenario

krindorr

7/5/22 1:25pm

UU/CU is a reach. They’ll be there anytime you want em. 18 is a big big league

rainorsnow

7/5/22 10:54am

I’d prefer the B12 get ASU and Colorado and then wait for UO and UW to come to terms with the B12 as their best option.

Housemartin

7/5/22 10:55am

Agreed. Or Stanford instead of Colorado. Those are the best PAC 12 options. The

This is my stance, as well. Get PHX and DEN, then wait to see what UO and UW
