because they had indisputable data showing that it undervalued their conference. End result their beloved conference disintegrated and Utah accepted an invite to the B12, all the while bemoaning the fact that they had to go to an inferior truck-stop conference, and they weren't happy about it. They have taken every opportunity to disparage the conference, its teams, the towns where the schools are located, everything. And on top of that they've bragged non-stop that going through the conference undefeated to grab their pre-destined slot in the new CFP would be a cake walk. They have turned everyone in the B12 against them. They deserve everything that's being heaped upon them in the aftermath of the Harlan meltdown.
