Utah is the Conference poison pill
Utah leaves the MWC along with TCU and BYU and MWC nearly falls apart.

Because Yewts are ungrateful, spiteful and untrustworthy partners, Utah president vomits up BYU's confidential plans to MWC commissioner which directly results in the demise of the WAC. Hair's plan still fails and BYU leaves, MWC teeters but survives but the WAC does not. Utah's information literally destroyed the WAC. Utah conference tragedy #1

Utah attempts to poison the WCC to not take BYU. WCC ignores Utah's advice and survives.

Utah attempts to sabotage Big-12 against taking BYU by providing unsolicited feedback they were "bad partners" and trying to keep BYU out. Among other reasons, Utah is successful in keeping BYU out of the Big 12 during round 1 expansion, and the Big-12 nearly collapses a few months later. Had Big-12 taken BYU back then, Big 12 would not have teetered, might have kept OU and TX and been better off today. Utah was very nearly successful at destroying Big-12.

Utah convinces Pac-12 its TV deals should be tens of millions more than offered. Pac-12 turns down a conference saving offer and fails to realize it's terribly precarious situation with the revitalized Big-12 strength with BYU among other teams. Utah directly causes Pac-12 implosion and CA schools to jump ship. Utah conference tragedy #3.

Utah is 2-2 in conference destruction attempts with two very close calls.

Utah's B10 offer is still coming in the mail and barely escapes oblivion in the Big 12. How long until Utah destroys the Big-12?
