How BYU Cost the PAC12 $240 Million - John Kurtz video

Why doesnt Utah just make up the difference, surely the 2x RB loser is worth it?

The most important part, imo, is at the very end. BYU saved B12

PAC 12 needs BYU more than the BIG 12 does. Big 12 would be fine without BYU.

3/25/23 7:20am

BYU adds more to BIG 12 than PAC. Adds another partial broadcast window

It would be poetic if BYU ultimately ended up the deciding factor between P12

3/25/23 7:23am

I don't think BYU 'saved' Big12. But they definitely added more value than others.

This is a great point. If PAC had taken BYU, the roles right now would be

If that is true then ESPN really ripped BYU off.

3/25/23 7:24am

Maybe. Part of the value comes with having BYU matched up with Big XII opponents

It's didn't...BYU's value as an Indy is different than part of a conference.

I get the difference and agree that BYU is worth more in the Big 12 than alone,

3/25/23 7:45am

Isn't it know BYU prioritized exposure over compensation

I know BYU liked the exposure and talked about it a lot but are we saying that

3/25/23 8:45am

The value is strategic, the sum of all parts is more than the pieces alone.

ESPN gave us games. Helped us. That was huge.

It was a win-win. ESPN got us in the cheap. And byu got ESPN to treat us

I think you mean “How the woke PAC cost itself $240M by passing on BYU.”

TrueBlue67

3/25/23 7:26am

Yeah. BYU didn't cost PAC anything, they did it to themselves.

John Doe

3/25/23 7:42am

It could have been even more than that

Let's face it...only reason ESPN or Fox wanted the Pac 12 before was the...

I’d say a big reason but not the only

RWaters

BYU likely brought more value to the Big XII than they would to the PAC

+$4M/school/yr might be the difference in Big12, but that may be $6-7M in Pac12
