moved to G5 and Utah grabbed the final P4 rescue line.

What will Utah's first decade in a Top 5 basketball conference be like?

The Big 12 will be a huge step up for them, even in an average year. The Pac-12 was usually well behind the other power basketball leagues including the Big East, and often weaker than at least one of the American, MWC or MVC. In the rare occasion when that wasn't the case, Utah had a losing record (e.g. 2023-24. The Pac-12 was actually solid in its last season, and Utah was 9-11 in league play).


Honestly, they could be in a for another extended period of basketball garbage.
