Utah seems confident in a call from the Big10.

It's not happening.

Yeah they were closer to being Wazzu/Oregon State than B10 lol

I would have loved to see them left out. But we have to stop kidding ourselves

Neither were close to reality. But I stand by my previous comment

A team that won 10 games in a row on us isn’t hiding from us. Let’s be real.

I wish they would go....yewts are annoying enough..I don't need them rubbing it

P.S. I live in Utah...shocker

It'd be nonstop "P2" and BIG talk if they went

I don't care....it's been somewhat peaceful the last few years around here...

Yea, but they would be cellar dwellers in the BIG so who cares.

Oompabluepaw

Wealthy and condescending cellar dwellers but still cellar dwellers.

It would be bad for byu if Utah went to the big 10. I doubt Utah has any

MaxxPower

Jun 26, 11:48am

Utes would never leave without taking BYU with them. They have our back!!

Jun 26, 4:01pm

Nah. The best solution to that problem is just beating them. And that will be easier when we’re in the same conference

mvtoro

Definitely would not have guessed Ga Tech as their #1

That linked article is trash can fiction

I laughed through most of the article.

Rutgers overvaluing media market size...

Kansas I understand a little bit based upon a couple of things, but Duke makes very little sense

B1G had every opportunity to take Utah. It was the best chance they had, and they weren't even in the discussion.

Hi UtahFootballGM. Roll your eyes all you want, you know its true.

Root beer me strength. What a bunch of blowhards.

Lol at UFGM giving thumbs up to a Big10 expansion article with absolutely no mention of the Yewts..not even on the radar

The biggest fallacy of communication is the belief that it happened.

thirdgencoug

What actually keeps BYU from being an AAU member?

EM_Puma

Jun 26, 11:43am

My guess is deficiency in research. Just a guess though.

LifeLongLakerFan

Jun 26, 11:47am

Utah wasn't aau until just a few years ago.

MaxxPower

Jun 26, 11:53am

I had thought it had to do with BYU not having professors that ONLY did research

EM_Puma

Jun 26, 12:09pm

I love the laughy-face from UFGM. BYU is better academically than Utah in

Not being accepted to the U is a new phenomenon, at least to me. But hey, in

I'm not sure that's true. There's several that are religiously affiliated

Wait, this post has been up for 54 minutes, where's the eye roll from the UU GM?

cougarmeister

Jun 26, 12:24pm

He didn't make it past the sarcastic intro, and gave his approval instead.

That article is weird

Is there a way to alter a PAC12 tattoo into BIG?

byuod

Jun 26, 1:15pm

No. But P---2 is an option.

JAGA97

Jun 26, 1:26pm

It's funny to hear Utes suddenly talking about realignment like they're experts

Great38

Jun 26, 3:26pm

Why did they not get added in the recent shift then?

Ojiisan

Jun 26, 3:29pm

You're reading into the situation inaccurately. Utah admin is extremely self aware

Undefeated

Jun 26, 4:36pm

That just proves the point. Harlan has been open about it

TFL

Jun 26, 4:49pm

You might be right but that tweet does not prove the point.

Great38

Jun 26, 4:56pm

5 months later though.

TFL

Jun 26, 5:02pm

What are you talking about? That tweet shows a delusional confidence in the PAC

CPAcoug87

Jun 26, 5:07pm

Yeah I thought Harlan admitted at their introductory Big 12 press conference

Undefeated

Jun 26, 5:31pm

That's an odd take. They always said the Big 12 offer was stable. That they were comfortable with that option

TFL

Jun 26, 5:44pm

So, you think Harlan tweeting “give me a break” was the right move?

CPAcoug87

Jun 26, 6:12pm

Yes he does, see his response above. TFL is a typical delusional Ute fan.

Atmospheric_Cougar

Jun 26, 9:05pm

Yeah, what did he lose?

TFL

Jun 26, 9:09pm

Credibility. Trust

Great38

Jun 26, 9:25pm

He did? I don’t think so.

TFL

Jun 26, 11:09pm

Exactly, his credibility took a hit. Gained nothing from being wrong.

Atmospheric_Cougar

Jun 27, 12:08am

What did he gain by doing that?

CPAcoug87

Jun 26, 9:17pm

More time. More negotiating power.

if they go P2 then they have to expand. If they don't there will be too much interest in the new league created by

HarlemCoug

Jun 26, 5:35pm

Good point. Maybe Big 12 can take on a few remnant ACC brands and be a distant third

TFL

Jun 26, 5:40pm

If there is a P2 that has 48 teams let's say... then what are the next best 48 teams going to do? It would mean many

Gimme a break.

Colorado got passed up & Colorado surpasses Utah in every metric.

If it happens it will be a big surprise for everyone involved

Umm - that article is dumb. GT as #1 expansion target for the B10?

BYU should be too. Why not? It’s called manifesting. BYU to SEC!!!
