Not even destabilising PAC so much as stabilizing B12. Bigger with floor
Payout is better base for next round.

Can’t believe people are excited about Colorado around here….

I don't think it's really excitement about Colorado but destabilizing the PAC12

That's the biggest reason. Also it's a land bridge for BYU.

Land bridges are a forgone idea like VHS.

Counter this point, isn’t the eminent departure of UO and UW good enough to

People are probably more excited about the PAC 12 crumbling

Lol, losing CU probably increases the P12 payout. Add SDSU to get to ten, no

From the PAC perspective CU is a way more prestigious School than SDSU

Where CU is ranked fifth? That's like saying SMU captures the Texas market.

No it isn't. CU is the flagship university in CO. Lots of Alumni. They just suck

I sense some of that comparison comes from the "Husker" in you though...

It does. But as the POTD nominated comment points out, signing up Colorado in the Big12 is more about hating Utah...

Can't disagree with anything you said there. Certainly UW or Oregon would be the

Everyone wants Utah left alone in a depleted PAC so they can run through the

It's nice to have P5 expansion options when others only have leftover G5 schools

It's nice that BYU is in a stable conference and just a sideline observer

It's so much deeper than that. CU leaving makes the PAC 12 crumble.

Dude our new league has Cincy, UH, UCF, KU... who do you think we are?

"ultimate relegation candidate"? That would be WSU or OSU way before Colorado.

The only appeal is that it is 1 step closer to the fall of the Pac 12 and Utah

For BYU specifically, Colorado is an OK - but not exciting addition
Doogal McCougar

Good addition because it is a team we should regularly beat. Every conf has that
Mufasa

Has nothing to do with Colorado. It's what it means about the P12.
