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

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

SouthernBlueBlood

3/17/23 5:46am

Heaping helpings of all three.

LeftOfNormal

3/17/23 5:47am

Or they know they arent on the short list

ABCoug

3/17/23 6:04am

Ooooo. A heaping helping of dessert too!

LeftOfNormal

3/17/23 6:05am

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

Willing to lose money to stay in the Pac

I think Utah is so averse to "stooping" to BYU's conference that they are

Samurai Jack

3/17/23 5:45am

Honestly shocking

SouthernBlueBlood

3/17/23 5:46am

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

LeftOfNormal

3/17/23 6:02am

Seems the love for what money can buy is ever increasing

Refugee

3/17/23 6:03am

More true than you know.

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

flyonawall

3/17/23 10:10am

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

zonacougar

3/17/23 7:07am

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

Rocketman

3/17/23 9:27am

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

Brandoblueblood

3/17/23 10:07am

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

SinkingQuffa

3/17/23 5:59am

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

SouthernBlueBlood

3/17/23 6:05am

None of them have asked to join

I'mBatman

3/17/23 6:26am

Never asked

TReid

3/17/23 6:46am

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

SinkingQuffa

3/17/23 7:01am

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

Brandoblueblood

3/17/23 10:10am

Yeah, something along lose lines is what I meant

SinkingQuffa

3/17/23 10:38am

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

Brandoblueblood

3/17/23 11:13am

Has Harlan said they don't want Big 12?

krindorr

3/17/23 6:05am

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

SouthernBlueBlood

3/17/23 6:06am

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

krindorr

3/17/23 6:37am

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

krindorr

3/17/23 6:40am

That makes more sense- I was listening to Monty guy

SouthernBlueBlood

3/17/23 7:04am

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

krindorr

3/17/23 7:09am

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

BamaCoug

3/17/23 9:15am

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

runningryan

3/17/23 7:40am

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

krindorr

3/17/23 8:22am

Utah is special though

davidsonlaw

3/17/23 8:56am

The main and enormous difference between Harlan and the AZ pres. was the pres

CouchPotato

3/17/23 8:41am

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

krindorr

3/17/23 8:42am

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

Littlerich

3/17/23 6:30am

When did Miami join the Pac12?

Big12Yfan

3/17/23 7:13am

My bad, fixed

Littlerich

3/17/23 7:46am

You are such a great sport

Big12Yfan

3/17/23 10:50am

I made the mistake, you correctly called me on it

Littlerich

3/17/23 11:36am

Can you share a quote where Harlan said he didn’t want the Big12?

Medute

3/17/23 7:00am

Just listening to Monty show yesterday and he said your AD went on a local radio

SouthernBlueBlood

3/17/23 7:05am

“At this time” could be the exact same thing the AZ guys are saying

Medute

3/17/23 7:13am

That Utah radio guy didn’t give that impression but what you’re saying makes

SouthernBlueBlood

3/17/23 7:18am

If, hypothetically, the Dodd article was about B1G having discussions with

Samurai Jack

3/17/23 7:20am

Those are two very different situations

Medute

3/17/23 7:27am

You are missing the point…

Samurai Jack

3/17/23 7:36am

It was a response toward Dodd, not the Big12

Medute

3/17/23 7:54am

Who is sensitive? It’s good news. Utah definitely should stay in the PAC. I…

Samurai Jack

3/17/23 2:07pm

The PAC is unstable because Or/Wa want BIG10, or at least an unequal share

RWaters

3/17/23 7:40am

Agreed that B1G will decide fate of PAC

Medute

3/17/23 8:04am

Unwavering solidarity is what’s false; of course they’ve looked into options

RWaters

3/17/23 8:11am

Can you provide a name for said firm? Or you running with the musings of GK.

hydrocoug

3/17/23 7:43am

Robbins was pretty clear in his interviews the last couple of days

Medute

3/17/23 7:57am

Pretty clear that he has talked with Big12 and knows what might be available.

hydrocoug

3/17/23 8:16am

Probably from Monty Show teaser...

BamaCoug

3/17/23 12:18pm

I don’t listen to Monty, but sounds like he likes to stir the pot

Medute

3/17/23 12:22pm

Indeed...

BamaCoug

3/17/23 12:36pm

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

Blue for Life

3/17/23 7:09am

Waiting to see their unequal share number

Big12Yfan

3/17/23 7:13am

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

Nat Gas Man

3/17/23 7:34am

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

NacoCoug

3/17/23 7:42am

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

Soupie

3/17/23 8:05am

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

Oatmeal

3/17/23 9:02am

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

canofpicante

3/17/23 9:23am

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

Brandoblueblood

3/17/23 10:13am

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

canofpicante

3/18/23 9:47am

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

ColoSpgs

3/17/23 9:44am

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

Brandoblueblood

3/17/23 10:02am

Never underestimate how egos affect business decisions.
