Adding Memphis, Boise, and SMU would be so much better

I, for one, like Washington state.

Honestly, I don't get all the disdain for them in realignment

Poor home game attendance. Not easy to get to Pullman.

Yeah, I get that. But home game attendance isn't where conference money comes from

krindorr

True. Land grant institution, like Iowa State, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, WVU

can we have 3x Cougars though in the same conference?

The SEC has 3 Tigers currently.

Rise Against

And Clemson will make a 4th eventually

San Diego State would be a horrible decision they bring nothing of value, Have fans that don’t care

JOPE

I could change that - we could start discussing NDSU, Montana and Tulane

20% of the contract is BBall. SDSU is very respectable there.

How do they bring TV money or value, I will repeat

JOPE

9/26/22 8:32am

Look, I'm not demanding SDSU. But I would understand if they were added. You plant a flag there, work with higher

9/26/22 9:53am

I think there's an argument for SDSU. But I think there's only one shoo-in among those candidates

Oregon State is 25.

Colorado has the potential for National Championships

They’re also pretty good at setting couches on fire.

Lol at the idea that Utah is #6. Why? Because they lost a bowl game and beat 3 crap teams?

mulletino

9/26/22 8:24am

Yeah, maybe I should have used Massey Composite - that one has Utah at 19 instead

krindorr

So the Big 12 should make long-term decisions based on the teams' records at this single point in time.

Even TNT agrees with Indy here

TNT

Adding Utah would make the conference stronger. It wouldn't make the conference more money.

mulletino

9/26/22 8:26am

Heck Utah fans even go to BYU games. While Utah is playing. So weird

TNT

9/26/22 8:28am

Would you care to consider Arizona and Colorado's success over the last decade instead?

krindorr

9/26/22 8:29am

while football is a major driver, it's not the only one.

Cougarclaw

9/26/22 8:24am

OK, so let's look over the last decade (2012-2021)

krindorr

9/26/22 8:34am

It's all about destroying the Pac-12. #TsuZuTheArtOfWar

TNT

9/26/22 8:24am

I want Wazzu, Fresno State, and the Arizona schools

YIsForBrigham

9/26/22 8:30am

Fresno?

TNT

9/26/22 8:31am

These threads are mostly for Joy in picking other schools ahead of Utah. I

who said UO and UW are off the table?

Hotlanta

9/26/22 8:39am

UO and UW

TNT

Like they would know…

It's more about bringing in $$ to the conference (and location)

Benfica1

9/26/22 8:58am

I get that but Arizona and Colorado are also terrible TV draws and SDSU is whatever's worse than terrible (abysmal?)
