XII Mexico Games announced

Warner

6/8/23 8:04am

That’s a big basketball game

Viva Campeche

6/8/23 8:05am

Great idea

Jay Kay

6/8/23 8:05am

IDK I think I'd be upset if the B12 took away a home BYU game vs Kansas and put in Mexico.

MissouriCoug18

6/8/23 8:20am

Yeah honestly I don't get it.

JuicyJam

6/8/23 8:24am

I can sort of see a recruiting benefit.

Dr MoBYU

6/8/23 8:27am

Name the last player from Mexico that made it to the NBA. Then name a good one.

ochobeeguy

6/8/23 8:36am

Only 5 Mexican players have ever played in the league. Only one currently and

Chefcurry

6/8/23 8:41am

It is a hotbed of recruiting obviously.

ochobeeguy

6/8/23 8:44am

Not looking for recruits. Looking for revenue sources.

Boring

6/8/23 10:43am

I mean US recruits being told they might get to play internationally.

Dr MoBYU

6/8/23 8:48am

Tell recruits still get to play in the Bahamas. Who wants to go to freaking

Fifty Shades of Blue

6/8/23 1:44pm

I think it's more about revenue than recruiting.

TailgateU

6/8/23 11:47am

Does it generate revenue?

JuicyJam

6/8/23 11:48am

22 million people in the metro? Yeah, I think there are a few pesos available.

TailgateU

6/8/23 11:55am

Yeah, really it's just a PR play intended to get attention in the US. There's not a heap of stray fans in Mexico

mokelembembe

6/8/23 8:27am

Let’s find out.

BlooCoog

6/8/23 8:38am

And there won’t ever be with that attitude

CougarGM

6/8/23 9:09am

I'd argue there's been a massive market test of that already in SoCal and the results are that USC/UCLA are moving

mokelembembe

6/8/23 9:26am

Are you saying that because of the immigrant population in Southern California?

CougarGM

6/8/23 9:40am

So Mexico has wealthy farmers who have the time and money to attend games?

Les IsMore

6/8/23 12:21pm

Wow, I hope this is sarcasm, Mexico is made up of a lot more than farmers

CameronG

6/8/23 12:41pm

I think the breadth of the sample is a little more than that. L.A. county is the biggest county in the country and

mokelembembe

6/8/23 1:17pm

College sports hasn't really been marketed to that demographic and much less so

CameronG

6/8/23 1:29pm

If you always do what you’ve always done…

CougarGM

6/9/23 8:40am

You do realize they aren't physically moving right? The conference came to them

bluejammer

6/8/23 5:56pm

every big pro league has a sales arm/team devoted to growing/marketing their

cwilke1

6/8/23 11:30am

I think a non-con tourney would be way better, but I don't really have a problem with this idea.

Marc Spector

6/8/23 12:00pm

Of course, they made Houston the home team for the neutral site game.

zerigke

6/8/23 12:40pm

Dumb idea. The only cash in Mexico is cartel cash.

Blue2thebone

6/8/23 1:30pm

You don't know Mexico then

CameronG

6/8/23 2:41pm

Literally the dumbest idea ever. No going to go well when a car load of fans get butchered on their way their due to

Blue2thebone

6/8/23 3:19pm

Thanks for continuing to affirm that you are ignorant

CameronG

6/8/23 3:22pm

Yea I’ll pass on my ignorant head being displayed on a fence post

Blue2thebone

6/8/23 4:29pm

My family travels by car to Mexico at least once a year

MGundy

6/8/23 3:54pm

My wife is Mexican and would never never never ever drive thru Mx, Gu, El. Ho.

Fifty Shades of Blue

6/8/23 5:43pm

No but there's a difference between that and what Blue2thebone said

CameronG

6/9/23 8:45am

No just averse to risk.

Blue2thebone

6/9/23 9:00am

It would be a fun one to attend

Heath Squashwell

6/8/23 8:49am

How about BYU vs TCU instead of in Ft. Worth

BillyGoat

6/8/23 9:11am

Yormark’s vision is grand. On the other side of the coin, fans will not be happy when losing key home games

It's like NFL London. Fans of those teams except maybe some diehards like it.

Flyoverstate

6/8/23 9:42am

I like it—play the long game with the NBA.

Moto2001

6/8/23 9:27am

Stupid. Why would season ticket holders want to trade a home game for Mexico?

Flyoverstate

6/8/23 9:36am

Mexico is a natural extension of Big12 footprint? How's that?

Flyoverstate

6/8/23 9:38am

I'm interested to see the turnout for any BYU game in Mexico. Don't you think

hxmCougar2000

6/8/23 9:57am

If they know about it, yes

CameronG

6/8/23 11:46am

I’m not so sure. The handful of expats would though.

byuwahoo

6/8/23 8:42pm

A great way to start opening up additional media markets and make our future TV

EFM_Coug

6/8/23 10:31am

Great matchup!!

Qhall

6/8/23 11:06am

The possible bowl game in Monterrey is a great idea!

CameronG

6/8/23 11:47am

I'd prefer it to some of the US destinations of bowl games. Would be fun.

Trent

6/8/23 12:38pm

It's where I served my mission, it's a great excuse for me to go back

CameronG

6/8/23 12:41pm

Fantastic strategy! See all the Braves and Cubs fans in Utah for proof that

DoubleBlue

6/8/23 12:03pm

I've met both of them.

Les IsMore

If you're not familiar with CDMX, its a great place to visit
