So conference realignment is hinging on a two-year stretch of performance?

And not a generation (or two, or three) of performance?

The Arizona schools have been at the table three times longer than Utah, have more fans, and are likely ahead of you guys. Taking nothing away from your two recent titles.

I think the last tweet is someone joking… but if BYU were in the same shoes

Just think back to 2010 when Texas and friends turned down the PAC. I knew that

Lol...the Pac 12 cherry picking the Big 12.

And it worked out so well for Texas and Oklahoma leaving. Try and leave early.

The one I am thinking of would more likely be a BYU fan, I would guess. BYU grad

IIRC, his vision was to build a “Guggenheim” in the bowl-shaped area just below

What part is arrogant or ignorant?

The "Big 12 is our floor" take.

Carnac

Most Ute fans don't believe this is even a remote possibility, including TFL

Yep. The reality of today’s CFB landscape

TFL

You Utes really have a high opinion of yourselves, don't you?

Ungoy

The CFP, Polls and recruits seem to agree.

TFL

Utah was artificially propped up in the polls. Everyone knows this.

Fair argument. Recency, relevance and trajectory, far more important. Like Utah/TCU. The Utah argument

TFL

5/30/23 4:57pm

All that certainly doesn't hurt

Carnac

5/30/23 5:01pm

Isn't that the definition of a fan? To have a high opinion of your team?

Agaricus

Perhaps, but Ute fans are going beyond simple hubris and into narcissism.

Ungoy

5/30/23 6:59pm

Lol, nobody thinks of Utah as anything but small open enrollment school that has

Utes confuse success on the field with attractive member of a conference.

This is my rebuttal to TFL (and other Ute fans); if it was just about on-field

Every conf and realignment period has its own objectives. BYU and Boise

Utah at Oregon regular season didn't break 3M viewers with A LOT on the line

That’s an exception though. It was almost 5 mm the year before. Highest reg season

Utah isn't additive. I know that isn't what Ute fans want to hear, but the B12

Abe Froman

And Fox/ESPN already have cable fees in all the other markets as well

This is a quote that will come back to bite them … like “truck stop conference.”

BluesBrother

I read that post and was like "yewts actually call it 'the truck stop conference' as if that's a real thing?" 🤣

I can get on board with the possibility that Utah is "safe"

Carnac

5/30/23 2:42pm

Someone should remind him that w/out USC & UCLA the P12 is already below the B12

zerome4sooners

Big12 is to yewts as Harvard is to me (hint, not exactly safety school)
