Can’t believe people are excited about Colorado around here….

I don't think it's really excitement about Colorado but destabilizing the PAC12

Yep. This really needs to be stickied

Correct.

That's the biggest reason. Also it's a land bridge for BYU.

It’s a reachable road trip for a ton of byu fans

Land bridges are a forgone idea like VHS.

5/30/23 2:00pm

As long as Utah stays put in the PAC

5/30/23 1:48pm

Counter this point, isn’t the eminent departure of UO and UW good enough to

5/30/23 1:59pm

Not even destabilising PAC so much as stabilizing B12. Bigger with floor

People are probably more excited about the PAC 12 crumbling

5/30/23 1:44pm

It’s a “sweep the leg” moment

Exactly

Lol, losing CU probably increases the P12 payout. Add SDSU to get to ten, no

5/30/23 2:02pm

From the PAC perspective CU is a way more prestigious School than SDSU

The biggest appeal is to have a built in rival

Large metro area/following = more $$$$$

Where CU is ranked fifth? That's like saying SMU captures the Texas market.

No it isn't. CU is the flagship university in CO. Lots of Alumni. They just suck

I sense some of that comparison comes from the "Husker" in you though...

303coug

5/30/23 2:27pm

It does. But as the POTD nominated comment points out, signing up Colorado in the Big12 is more about hating Utah...

HuskerFan2

5/30/23 2:41pm

Can't disagree with anything you said there. Certainly UW or Oregon would be the

I'm excited that it is not Utah.

Everyone wants Utah left alone in a depleted PAC so they can run through the

Backcountry

It's nice to have P5 expansion options when others only have leftover G5 schools

Cheap Seats

It's nice that BYU is in a stable conference and just a sideline observer

It's so much deeper than that. CU leaving makes the PAC 12 crumble.

Jeffacka

BigXII is expanding. Who are better options in the west?

NorCal_Coug

5/30/23 2:01pm

Dude our new league has Cincy, UH, UCF, KU... who do you think we are?

Mitty

5/30/23 2:06pm

"ultimate relegation candidate"? That would be WSU or OSU way before Colorado.

ManicBlue

5/30/23 2:12pm

The only appeal is that it is 1 step closer to the fall of the Pac 12 and Utah

BYULAWGUY

Ends justify the means

5/30/23 2:31pm

For BYU specifically, Colorado is an OK - but not exciting addition

Mufasa

Has nothing to do with Colorado. It's what it means about the P12.
