Which part of what he said is untrue? Not looking for a fight, just curious.

Personally, I think the PAC would be a better fit for BYU from the geography, recruiting, and alumni base standpoint, but there is a reason the PAC did not go after us and the PAC has had other opportunities to expand and have chosen not to, or the schools they contacted - think the Texas (sans Baylor) and Oklahoma schools back in 2010 - turned them down.

I think you mean poach.

Thanks Miss Soy.

Why would those schools want to leave when they’d get a smaller piece of the pie

For less money, more politics, and worse management controlled by CA government

You’re stuck in a reactionary echo chamber.

Which part is incorrect? Management, control, or does conference brand trump?

You didn’t verify anything you said. Just regurgitated what one narrative is

Not being able to prove him wrong doesn't mean he's right. My point is he's

Wait, where are you seeing this? The $$$ you're citing in particular doesn't seem to add up

I do think the Big 12 is in a stronger spot...but to just hand-wave away the danger based on Twitter seems non-ideal

Not mocking at all. I’ve literally done the exact same thing, complete with multiple asterisks, about another subject I

Fair response. I think most of those articles predate the recent madness, so it's hard to factor what numbers matter

Truth is that I think the prevailing wisdom here is more likely to...prevail. I just think we're overly dismissive of

They had the chance to do that last year and didn’t. Now they have to compete

I believe they'll try to poach Kansas and a Texas school, but I don't believe

Would the Pac + the Texas schools and a loose ACC alliance be a P3?

Diz

7/7/22 6:44am

That's basically what we think would make the Big 12 a P3

IMO - If B1G/SEC took from the ACC, then it’s over.

Diz

There is no way the PAC is going after Baylor and TCU.

CasualFan

7/7/22 6:44am

They'd go after TCU - Dallas market attached to a team that is largely shedding its religiosity

A few people have posted about it

It's definitely possible for sure. Nobody on sports message boards really know.

I think part of that is a filter on "information we know"

It wouldn't make any sense to do this without binding agreements from UW and UO

The B12 schools want nothing to do with California, Oregon and Washington politics running the show.

Yes, people have suggested it. Those are generally people who do not understand that the PAC basically does not have

Big 12 teams would have to pay up to leave, 80 million for a lateral move?
