While some may have referred to them as remaining 8 or leftover 8, etc they were not the big 8.

BYU needs a Big12 "travel partner" in the west

Travel partners are something of days gone by.

Don’t care about “travel” partners. Don’t want BYU alone on western island.

NorCal_Coug

Why? Will they magically be better with AZ or Colorado?

WJCougar

5/27/23 9:40am

Would it be worse? Again, conference leadership disagrees with you,

They disagree with me?

WJCougar

Since you know better you should reach out to BY immediately

Add the two Arizona schools to get to 14 and be done with it.

BYUFam1

UCF, Cincinatti, and Houston we’re G5 by any definition. Many would lump BYU

I don’t think u know what travel partner means.

Cougarbib

Sure I do and it is not a thing anymore.

Those conferences absolutely use travel partners in Olympic Sports.

They need more teams to fill the late night slot

thewaterboy

5/27/23 9:36am

B10 has 2 - UCLA and USC for the late night slight. B12 should get 1 more.

Ripliancum

5/27/23 11:31am

Probably going to need 2 more for ESPN

thewaterboy

5/27/23 11:36am

I should add that FOX will have UCLA, USC, & the MWC to fill late slot. ESPN

thewaterboy

5/27/23 11:46am

My concern is that if more fill the night spot, BYU may be more often relegated

Refugee

I don't disagree, but BYU only has 6 home games per year. That's not enough for

thewaterboy

5/27/23 12:13pm

Fair enough. Hopefully not too many teams, though…

Refugee

5/27/23 12:59pm

Three teams are needed at the minimum to fill the slot, but four works better.
