Conference now. Why not just take Arizona, ASU, and Colorado and wait?

I think the yewts have rebuffed Yormark enough...

If they are available, they get in

You take that back!

Lol. Sorry. It’s true. I don’t like Utah, but they’d be in. Don’t hate me.

6/1/23 10:12pm

I don't know. Do they bring in enough extra TV viewers to make them worth it?

The rivalry game would be strong value.

inertiaman

6/1/23 10:22pm

Yeah, I just don't know if adding Utah to BYU already owning the market will bring a ton more viewers. Utah may be

It's so valuable that it gets relegated to the 8:15 MT TV slot in September.

Exactly, big time rivalry games are prime time games, not after dark games.

Probably more valuable as a cross-conference rivalry. Fans of

The U of U healthcare system is fantastic. Their athletic department and some of

Fantastic is overstating it by quite a bit. They’re pretty good

BYU '80

6/1/23 10:28pm

Not many (any?) healthcare systems in Utah are better.

BlooCoog

6/1/23 10:35pm

Don’t know about the entire system, but Huntsman is fantastic. No cancer center

Co, UofA, ASU, UConn for 16. The. 3 more eventually from ACC and Gonzaga

Nat Gas Man

6/1/23 10:06pm

I think the ACC is locked up until 2036. Would the entire conference dissolve?

BlueZone

6/1/23 10:08pm

Yes

B10: ND, Miami, UNC, UVA. Maybe Gtech. Duke. SEC: Clemson, FSU, Vtech, NC State

Tuskaloosa Cougar

I agree. That's what I think.

BlueZone

Great minds

Tuskaloosa Cougar

to your question on if the Pac would still be a P5 conference ... no.

runnincoug

6/1/23 10:07pm

Exactly! My question was rhetorical. It should not be considered a Power Conf.

BlueZone

6/1/23 10:10pm

Not sure how they get knocked down from A5 status. Maybe because a conference

Nat Gas Man

6/1/23 10:11pm

Utah's arrogance on this matter could cost them a lot of money, and status. But

BlueZone

6/1/23 10:21pm

i wouldn't worry about AQ. Let them have an AQ in new expanded playoff. BUT

You forgot BSU, but I agree with you

AntiSNOT

Do you think the pac will take Boise? I don't think so because of academic/

runnincoug

6/2/23 11:13am

Depends on how many teams the Pac loses

CameronG

6/2/23 11:22am

I don’t think Yormark cares what Ute fans say

GlutealGuy

6/1/23 10:12pm

Does Yormark care what Harlan has to say? We know Harlan doesn't want the Big 12

CameronG

6/2/23 9:16am

Colorados/ASU/AZ AD say they want to stay in the pac

GlutealGuy

6/2/23 10:44am

Colorado's AD in the last week said they are happy in the Pac but are going to

CameronG

They have said, all things equal, they stay in the PAC; that SHOULD be their

Regarding "All things being equal,"

Yes, exactly, it's becoming obvious (to CB at least) that things will not be

moknowssports

6/2/23 11:21am

Another question. When the utes end up on the outside, will Kyle retire or move?

BlueZone

6/1/23 10:12pm

He has Utah on the hook for a big new contract through 27 or 28.

jre85

6/1/23 11:36pm

Other than one tweet, how has Utah rebuffed Yormark?

Belboz

6/1/23 10:26pm

By not showing interest like CO and AZ. But who knows?

BlueZone

6/1/23 10:33pm

I think the public doesn't know and that was the crux of my question

Belboz

6/1/23 10:39pm

Considering there are reports of Colorado and Arizona's interest and none about

CameronG

6/2/23 9:26am

Is there evidence Utah was "offered?" Or Yormark gives a rip about yewt fans?

Brandoblueblood

6/1/23 11:39pm

Rebuffed Yormark, that's funny.

slatecoug

6/2/23 12:12am

I think Yormark's focusing on basketball schools. Bad time for Utah to stink...

The only thing that keeps Utah out

CougarCanuck76

6/2/23 5:46am

Is numbers. Utah isn’t additive to the B12 conference - it already has the state

Abe Froman

6/2/23 7:06am

I would argue there is one other thing that keeps Utah out

moknowssports

6/2/23 8:25am

Plus we don't want to give Utah $32M so we can get their $10M

Brandoblueblood

6/2/23 10:08am

BYU fans have been waiting so long to get accepted to the P5 world, despite being more than worthy, that they lose

TFL

6/2/23 10:58am

I think this is why being totally dominant in basketball matters.

BlueZone

6/2/23 11:28am

In any other power conference besides the PAC, maybe ACC, Utah doesn't finished ranked the last 2 years.
