If AZ is 14, we’re 15/16…who’s your money on for 16/15??!

If the queen had balls she'd be the king.

Reminds me of what we were taught in Artillery Officer Candidate School. "When the Queen (of Battle, Infantry) yells, the King (of Battle, Artillery) puts his balls where she wants them".

But again, 100k viewerships for ten times is not as valuable as 1-million viewers once. The larger audiences pull in more revenue per ads.

You are right.But, the volume matters. These channels need content During the week.

Best football program. Could make UConn and an easier sell than coming in with ASU which is at best, decent. Hard to know what Brett has to do to sell this. I’m just hoping it is UConn and one of the two. I still think Utah believes it can get an Utah State into the PAC if it stays.

What school was your preference to be 16?

Oregon, Washington then Utah.

 

[GoKU]

At least Utah is good at football. Arizona State is mediocre at everything. Just my opinion.

 

[ctchamps]

Mine would have been Oregon and full stop but the conference is boxed in to get 16. At least the hype will be there for a Bobby Danny matchup until Danny shows playing success doesn’t always translate to coaching.

they might be right the way things are going

Unfortunately Arizona State

If the B12 has a choice, it would be ideal to add 3 other new states in addition to Colorado. UCONN, Arizona, and Oregon would be great. Unfortunately, I think Arizona won't move without Arizona St. Arizona has 7.4M population, so 2 schools would be ok from the same state. UTAH is a smaller state than CT, and it makes no sense to add UTAH when you already got BYU.

It be nice to get Oregon and Washington but I don't believe those two schools want to be in the B12 at all. There is no chance both will sign a long-term GOR with the B12 if they think B1G option is available.

Let's hope it will be Arizona, UCONN, and Arizona State.

Utah is one of the few schools I'd feel bad for if theyre left out. They've done everything right

Would you feel bad for them if they took our spot? They were a G5 school not long ago in the MWC.

 

[Jimdish255]

I think you misinterpreted what I meant...

Can you wait till Friday before you freak out?

The obvious has happened. Colorado jumped to the Big 12. Media is ignoring or trashing us. Nothing's changed yet everyone is strapping on their defibrillators. We're still in this and of course there's no guarantees, but our leadership is better and we're in a much better position to succeed this time around.

Utah made it into the PAC-12 because their Sen. Orrin Hatch was threatening investigations and anti-trust action. He’s gone, and I’m not sure they are that desirable in a state where 2nd place to BYU is a huge gap.

They are not. BYU is the far bigger brand, and it is more than enough to carry that state.

UConn is much better brand than Utah. People tend to think how well a team does on the football field is all that matters, but it is far more than that when it comes to TV contracts and media markets. Utah, being in a smaller state than CT, and with BYU as the big school in-state, is just not as valuable as UConn who is the only big school in the state of CT.

Oregon and Washington make zero sense. They'll leave in a heartbeat. They're going to be Big 10 teams, Yormark has done the best thing possible in terms of taking a bad situation and making it good. They're the #3 conference, no point in being a placeholder for a couple years, makes you look desperate and not knowing who you are.

Yes they have and they've risen to the occasion in football and their basketball is better than most people probably realize but it's tough to feel badly for anyone when UConn who racks up national tiles all the time has been sitting here all this time. It's insane UConn has been sidelined in all of this, it's insane people wonder where Duke's place is, will Utah have a home? It's all unseemly, greed ruins everything and often times makes people think irrationally

Is Oregon a legitimate possibility?

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

I can’t picture college athletics without all mighty Utah competing at the highest level.

Is it because the Big 12 already has BYU so there is no need for Utah?
