I think BYU would be supportive of Utah joining the B12

As distasteful as it is, there are a number of reasons:

(a) BYU is a class act, and despite Utah selling BYU out any chance it gets, BYU lives by a higher law

Well if Flugaur says it...

He broke the USC/UCLA to the Big 10 story. Dude has good sources.

If Utah could get better attendance at MBB, maybe the WCC would consider them?

Those heathens would never accept a WCC invite.

Good point. They would be near the bottom of the barrel academically in the WCC

That is so disrespectful.

How about having Utah relegated to a G5 or at the very least the weakest P5?

Why would we go to bat for them? What value do they add? The “huge” Utah market?

The football Gods will not allow us to get the upper hand on Utah

And by "football gods" you mean intra-state politics.

It is a good thing if the B12 makes decisions before BYU has a say.

Once he was freed of the shackles of Texas and OU, he made some good moves.

Agreed. And the rift he created with ESPN was necessary to hold the league

Isn't Flugaur just another G Swaim?

Hey, leave Texas out of this

I have no beef w/ Texas being arrogant because it led to open spots in the B12

The hubris of the PAC12 destroyed them from the inside

1/30/23 2:49pm

As long as the PAC has the University of Utah, the PAC will always be a power conference.

Just ask Ute fans and they will tell educate you on this very important point.

My concern is that then the Big XII would add Utah.
