ASU is upset according to Flugaur and Monty

Why would they be upset? Because George is entertaining unequal distribution to Oregon and Washington?

It's not based upon one single game. It's that they are not additive. Utah would dilute, not add.

Neither. It's the reality of CFB today and the goals of the Big 12 in the next go around. I get this sense from around

TFL

1/31/23 4:49pm

Thanks for the laugh, but once again, Utah is not additive. All Utah would do is dilute the per school payout.

What is it with Ute fans and these delusional views of national relevance?

Corn Pop

1/31/23 2:27pm

This is what Utah fans tell themselves but it's not true. The pecking order is surely Oregon/Washington > ASU/Arizona

1/31/23 2:28pm

UW and Oregon are great but they're not going to commit long term and they don't like the Big 12.

TFL

1/31/23 3:34pm

You're basing it all on on-field performance. Which adds bring in the most money

1/31/23 3:35pm

Not really. Fan attendance, TV ratings, recruiting, NFL, prestige, sustainability of success. Phx and Denver are greater

TFL

1/31/23 6:26pm

We will see. Oregon and Washington are not going to be let behind in some conference with Wyoming and Boise St

There is a very good chance that OR never gets invited to the B10

This is the biggest mistake BYU fans make. In the west, it's not about the fanbase

You clearly don't pay any attention to the viewership numbers when Utah is the biggest name in the matchup.

According to your logic, Boise St. should have been invited. Why weren't they?

Why would you add CU and UofU if Oregon and UW are still out there?
