Give me a break. Who is Dodd, anyway? Am I right? Besides, we've got an awesome

His article mentions Utah joining the Big XII. I choose not to believe this

Makes no sense for the Big12. Hopefully they're not just adding to add.

What will Utah do without a Rival?

Utah is really good at just creating new rivalries...after all, in just a few

They'll have one in the new look PacXX..

Look at that picture and explain to me how CU ever made any sense in the PAC.

Mitty

5/30/23 11:34am

I think it’s because they have a chunk of their alumni based in CA

TerpCoug

5/30/23 11:45am

CA is a huge state with huge cities. Everyone has tons of alumni there.

Mitty

5/30/23 12:01pm

I think the only reason they took Colorado was to try to cause instability

^this is exactly how it went down

Boulder fits in the PAC more than many other parts of CO do

“It was made clear that a move to the Big 12 would not be made without the support of football coach Deion Sanders.”

TCuz

5/30/23 11:37am

I don't think he has much power. I think they already know deion supports it and

SUAVO

That’s probably fair.

5/30/23 11:43am

A very religious guy, who spent many years in the south is probably itching to

SUAVO

Not to mention recruiting will be easier with his ties to TX and FL.

SLIVER

And he’ll get there. Just maybe not with Colorado.

Oregon and Washington:

5/30/23 11:40am

So...real question: if UO/UW don't actually get a Big Ten invite and CU leaves;

moknowssports

5/30/23 11:46am

Maybe, but we would need to realize that it's likely only temporary for them.

thewaterboy

5/30/23 11:51am

I'm good with that...and they may WANT it to be temporary; if Big Ten didn't

moknowssports

5/30/23 11:57am

The problem with temporary is exactly what the PAC is going through now. They

Cheap Seats

5/30/23 12:58pm

The Pac is "temporary" and it's a problem b/c they only have 10 teams; Big 12

moknowssports

5/30/23 1:51pm

According to the numbers the remaining PAC 10 does not measure up to the new Big 12.

What numbers, specifically? TV deal has more to do with available inventory than

I question this narrative of the Big 12 being in the same position for exactly 1

Specifically on the field performance. And USC is the biggest brand West of the Mississippi, followed BY UCLA

slatecoug

5/31/23 3:13am

USC and UCLA are bigger brands than Texas and Oklahoma?

CameronG

5/31/23 7:50am

USC is definitely a bigger brand than Oklahoma. Right now USC is bigger than Texas, but when Texas is playing top 25

slatecoug

6/1/23 12:26am

Sorry, I misspoke: I'm saying Washington/Oregon are the two biggest brands west

moknowssports

5/31/23 8:42am

Dodd was always wrong about BYU and the B12, so he has little cred to me.

Good point

That's your queue Mandel and Auerbach, rebuttal coming any minute now...

Mandel's already thrown in the towel on this one.

Yes, but the rest of the BigXII doesn't care how they treat BYU...nor does

BYUHgrad

The difference is that I'd only have to deal with CU's trashy fans on gameday

Interesting, especially since both schools will be looking for a new rival 😉
