situation is temporary and are focused on the next wave of realignment (P2/Super Conferences) to put too much thought in Utah - a school they have little or no history with, has only been P4 for a few years, and while Utah is good in football they will have trouble keeping fans once they lose their head coach.
And the OG Big12 (OSU, TTU, Baylor, ISU, K State, KU) has been through Texas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Missouri, and Texas A&M - Utah is not in the same stratosphere lol.
