self-anointing themselves the heart and soul of the PAC12 and are going to die on the PAC hill.

Money has become secondary at this point to their elitist zeal.

If Harlan is saying they don’t want B12 you’ve got to assume they have real #’s

If the AZs say they're waiting on #s, you have to assume they don't have real #s

LeftOfNormal

So is Utah leadership bad, delusional, or we don’t know something as outsiders?

SouthernBlueBlood

Heaping helpings of all three.

LeftOfNormal

Mar 17, 5:47am

Or they know they arent on the short list

ABCoug

Ooooo. A heaping helping of dessert too!

LeftOfNormal

Mar 17, 6:05am

No, your take is bad. Harlan never said he didn't want the Big12

Honestly shocking

SouthernBlueBlood

Mar 17, 5:46am

And it MAY be true (though I doubt it) that they'd lose more money in grants due

LeftOfNormal

Mar 17, 6:02am

Seems the love for what money can buy is ever increasing

More true than you know.

This should exist as a permanent display on the front wall of Congress

He's probably been told by the president under no circumstances will they move and so he's got to plant his flag

zonacougar

They will take a several million a year less (or more) than what B12 offers

Rocketman

Mar 17, 9:27am

Plus the Big12 isn't talking to them anyway. Sour grapes.

Brandoblueblood

Or possibly that he's saving face in the aftermath of a rejection event.

SinkingQuffa

To clarify Yormark told Utah no? Seems unlikely Yormark would tell Utah no at

SouthernBlueBlood

Mar 17, 6:05am

None of them have asked to join

I'mBatman

Mar 17, 6:26am

Never asked

TReid

Mar 17, 6:46am

Probably not. But Utah could've certainly sensed what the interest level was.

SinkingQuffa

Mar 17, 7:01am

Or because the Big12 isn't talking to the yewts but is to the AZs

Brandoblueblood

Mar 17, 10:10am

Yeah, something along lose lines is what I meant

SinkingQuffa

Mar 17, 10:38am

Right, easy to say I don't want Megan Fox when I'll never have a chance anyway

Brandoblueblood

Mar 17, 11:13am

Has Harlan said they don't want Big 12?

krindorr

Mar 17, 6:05am

Yes apparently he did that on the radio yesterday- was a not for now

SouthernBlueBlood

Mar 17, 6:06am

Just went and listened to his radio interview and didn't hear that

krindorr

Mar 17, 6:37am

More to the point though, Harlan also stated they don't have numbers

krindorr

Mar 17, 6:40am

That makes more sense- I was listening to Monty guy

SouthernBlueBlood

Mar 17, 7:04am

Yeah, sounds like Monty is embellishing what was said to get listeners

krindorr

Mar 17, 7:09am

it’s probably coming from this Monty tweet. He teases outlandish things in

I would add that NO AD or President burns a bridge unless it knows it is safe on their side

runningryan

Mar 17, 7:40am

100% - Utah may well be uninterested (or less interested than AZ) in Big 12, but nobody's unequivocally ruling it out

krindorr

Mar 17, 8:22am

Utah is special though

I definitely think the University Presidents have more knowledge about things than the ADs do

I think the UofU truly thinks they are an elite academic institution because

When did Miami join the Pac12?

Big12Yfan

Mar 17, 7:13am

My bad, fixed

Littlerich

Mar 17, 7:46am

You are such a great sport

Big12Yfan

Mar 17, 10:50am

I made the mistake, you correctly called me on it

Littlerich

Mar 17, 11:36am

I don’t think anyone has real #’s as of yet. They have made up numbers, or hope

Blue for Life

Mar 17, 7:09am

Waiting to see their unequal share number

Big12Yfan

Mar 17, 7:13am

That’s great we don’t want them anyway. Not additive

Nat Gas Man

Mar 17, 7:34am

Harlan hasn’t seen numbers. I bet it hasn’t even got to the pac 12 ceo group

NacoCoug

Mar 17, 7:42am

Delusional abt national status, like odds of making expanded playoff in PAC & pride. That’s it. They’re simple creatures

Soupie

Mar 17, 8:05am

Don't assume anything when dealing with Yewts, rattlesnakes, scorpions...

Oatmeal

Mar 17, 9:02am

Utah assuming PAC numbers will be close to B12. That’s all. Probably right.

canofpicante

Mar 17, 9:23am

Plus the Big12 isn't talking to them. Remember Harlan said they weren't.

Brandoblueblood

Mar 17, 10:13am

Notice Harlan never said “We haven’t talked to the B12”. 🤔

canofpicante

Mar 18, 9:47am

Harlan tweeted four words--with 12 total letters. Methinks we've ridden this pony as far as it will go.

ColoSpgs

Mar 17, 9:44am

Bad take. He hasn't said that, and Big12 has no reason to want them.

Brandoblueblood

Mar 17, 10:02am

Never underestimate how egos affect business decisions.
