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

XII Mexico Games announced

That’s a big basketball game

Great idea

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

Yeah honestly I don't get it.
JuicyJam

I can sort of see a recruiting benefit.

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

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

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

Let’s find out.

And there won’t ever be with that attitude
CougarGM

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

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

If you always do what you’ve always done…
CougarGM

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

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

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

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

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

Thanks for continuing to affirm that you are ignorant
CameronG

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

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

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

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.

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

If they know about it, yes
CameronG
6/8/23 11:46am
I’m not so sure. The handful of expats would though.

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.

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

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