newcomer and BYU was given one of the toughest if not the toughest. I like having the schedule we have but C'mon. Utahs schedule is ranked something like 99th and BYU's around 60th.
Utah comes into the league kicking and screaming, badmouthing it, basically admitting they are out as soon as they can go if they get a BIG invite, refusing to sign a long term agreement, alienating all the other BIG12 schools fans (what happened to only bringing in teams who want to be here?) and then probably whining their way into an easy schedule first year, only so they can give themselves the best chance to win the league and prop up their argument that they deserve to be in the BIG.
AND THE BIG12 LET THEM DO IT!!! Talk about letting a team come in and kick you in the teeth and then you give them everything they want??
What a joke! IMO, BIG12 should have called their bluff and they should have to earn their BIG12 opponents respect by playing one of the toughest schedules. IF they are as good as they say they are, the toughness of the schedule wouldn't matter, right? Let them really prove it vs another smokescreen. If the BIG12 wanted to show the rest of the world what they are really about, they wouldn't let Utah just come in with a easy schedule so they can then say what a better conference the PAC was if they win. We all know what the reality is.
What they (the utes) really need is a huge slice of humble pie.
