Yormark's criteria
Here are Yormark's stated criteria "academic alignment and leadership, cultural fit, geography, athletic performance and long-term upside".
Does utah really fit any of those?
academic alignment and leadership - I'd say no since their leadership has constantly spouted off how they prefer the academically superior pac12.
cultural fit - Not based on the way their AD, President or fanbase has responded to hints they might be under consideration.
geography - absolutely not since BYU already brings the area
athletic performance - maybe in football but certainly not basketball and the Big 12 doesn't have ski teams.
long-term upside - IMO their long term upside isn't going to get any better than it already is and will likely diminish.

Lol. To draw a national audience, both teams have to be competitive. IN 2019, Utah was the main draw

Eh, I definitely think USC, Oregon, Florida etc are the heavy lifters there but Utah contributes some

That's not true at all. If they artificially put a 1-11 CU team or even a 7-4 BYU — both would've been
