Because there would be no reason it hadn’t gotten leaked at this point. All signs are the Big XII are waiting for PAC movement.

Because there would be zero reason delay the invite once Colorado accepted. The leverage thing people are trying to convince themselves of is fantasy land crap. We are either team #16 or we are out.

My guess is after this is all over and UConn is left in the dust again, reports will come out that we were never even seriously considered and it will be a complete embarrassment
 
ASU and Arizona are likely a package deal, leaving Utah and us, I think BY would have enough respect for getting the arizona schools and colorado to get his way, Utah even with the resources of a power 5 school are still less relevant and successful in sports than we are.

Utah football has been good for a long time.

Nah reports will come out that Yormark really wanted us but couldn't convince the schools. It'll let us save a little face.

I have found the silence from the AD to be deafening. Our reporters have been busy writing "what if" pieces instead of writing anything or substance or finding anything out. How do all these other schools have media drips and we don't?

sports not football, football is one sport and even then despite the lack of success we have had recently, we're a bigger brand

What exactly would you want AD Dave to say publicly right now?

Just let stuff

Why would Arizona and ASU Board if Reageants, who run both schools, hurt asu? They aren’t. It has to be a package deal

I agree....but...........the California Board of Regents run both Cal and UCLA. They let UCLA split from Cal with a minor Calimony tax. They didn't even require the schools to play each other going forward.

Stop living in 2010. The paradigm has shifted. With streaming becoming more of a player, they need content. It’s more than just football now. You don’t get it.

This is where our fan base misses the point.

Football, at least in terms of what we've been fighting for a couple decades now, is more important than everything else combined when it comes to collegiate sports.

Utah football revenue was $75 million in 2022. It's a huge moneymaker.

?? That's more like fun with numbers. When you pile in on the AD revenues in one sports, you can make anything look like anything. & many people hide the expenditures elsewhere, many of them hide it on the academic side and it's not in the budget at all.

Overall numbers and facilities debt is the most telling sign of health for these departments.

This is a great point. When is the last time the Hoard had a scoop?It is amazing that none of them apparently have sources, or even if they did, they don’t have the stones to write anything tangible on this issue.

I don't think our fan base misses the point. It's just that Brett Yormark has been talking a different game and we got our hopes up.
 
The theory that holds with BY getting UConn in based on delivering 3 PAC schools sounds good

But Big 12 schools may say, you brought us 3 crappy football schools, we don't want 4, give us Utah.

I'm not expecting him to directly say something but it doesn't seem crazy to me to have some curated leaks through media mouthpieces like every other major program does.

I think it's because most of these other schools reporters don't actually know anything. They just make stuff up lol

If this were true then we'd be in a power conference already.

When we talk about sports the only sport that matters to the member institutions is football. Wether they're right about that or not doesn't matter because they've been told the same thing for decades and don't just change their opinions on a whim.
