Go review the Yormark interview where he discussed potential expansion. Expanding to new markets and time zones was the biggest component. Utah does nothing for either of those. They don't make dollars or sense.

Most likely bitter BIG12 rivals

The Y's Insider

I think it will be TCU and Houston.

Magneto

We'll see who the nastiest is at the games. My money is on Iowa State or Texas Tech - just due to the nature of

By that standard it’ll be Okla St.

Well, the Iowa St. student body started this off back in 2016 or whenever it was. Now that we ended up being in,

All the kids who signed that petition have graduated. Probably not an issue with the current group of students.

I highly doubt that was some issue unique to that year or two of students. Things like that aren't in a vacuum

Bob Vance

1/26/23 7:58pm

We’ll see. These thing develop naturally. Let’s not try to force it

Lifi

1/26/23 4:28pm

No. I want to force it right now.

If you asked every MW team they’d all say BYU was their rival. I guess we’re

We do have a bit of the “holier than thou” fanbase that loves to judge others.

I think that attitude is less prevalent now than ever.

I’ve been at byu fb games and I e heard little kids point out someone’s tattoos

Remember this before you criticize the tattoo comments….

All those holier than thou little kids! They are giving BYU fans a bad name.

Seems fair...they were all easy to hate too, except maybe AFA

AlternateShot

1/26/23 5:51pm

After living at the AFA, and around Fisher DeBerry, it was easy to dislike them.

Emmett Fitz-Hume

On gameday, I hated them...the rest of the year, I just couldn't manage it.

BYU will have the Utah market. What value do the Utes bring? Little to none.

Magneto

1/26/23 4:33pm

Pac will survive but I'm glad you're one of the few who understand where they end up if they don't.

TFL

1/26/23 4:42pm

He doesn't know that any more than you do.

Wait, you think I HOPE Utah is in the Big 12????

P12 needs market size right now. Big 12 would need on the field prestige.

BYU will do the dumb thing and advocate for Utah.

The Y's Insider

1/26/23 4:43pm

Utah comes in no matter what. Sorry. The key to the game is competitiveness. Utah is about as good as it gets

TFL

1/26/23 5:02pm

You seriously believe that conference realignment is driven by competitiveness?

tacallaway

1/26/23 5:09pm

Uh yeah. What else is there to go by?

TFL

1/26/23 5:27pm

You're discounting that the B12 already owns UU's market.

tacallaway

1/26/23 5:38pm

Irrelevant. Utahs attendance and viewership are better than any other B12 candidate.

TFL

1/26/23 6:39pm

You say irrelevant. Yormark says otherwise.

tacallaway

1/26/23 7:45pm

They haven’t won a P5 game outside of their conference since 2017. They suck

Magneto

1/26/23 5:11pm

But haven't lost to an OOC opponent, from any conference, at home since 2006

TFL

1/26/23 6:50pm

Sincerely Rutgers!

Creaturecow

1/26/23 5:30pm

Every conference needs are different. Can't Argue with that choice bc BIG is killing it in the money

TFL

1/26/23 6:43pm

Don't you have a PAC board, or a yewt board you could be posting on?

AlternateShot

1/26/23 6:51pm

Nothing over there is more entertaining than people pretending Utah isn't P5 worthy. Too small for the B12

TFL

1/26/23 7:32pm

Best performing program in the west?

ray ray

1/26/23 9:55pm

P5 has nothing to do with being "worthy."

No prestige losing consecutive Rose Bowls to teams who didn’t win a B1G division

Can we just not be like Utah fans and media please.

Corn

I hope they all hate us. The alternative is indifference because we suck.

Maybe we can be CO rival. I hear their current one is forced?

Baylor's history with TCU dwarfs our history with TCU

Blue Cat

3 factors to consider

TCU rivalry mostly tied to Patterson. Pretty much left when he did.

Les IsMore

Our rivalry with anybody will be roughly as fierce as Utah & Colorado’s
