The appetite for more expansion wasn't there last August. The Big 12 had to squeeze financially to admit Utah to the conference, I'm told. The hope at OSU and WSU is that something will change, and if/when it does, I'll have it here.
Ute fans - Big 12 had to squeeze Utah away from the big 10
Reality - Utah didn't bring in any more money than they are taking from the big 12 and barely got in. Should have left it at 3 or taken SDSU. Utah is not even close to a big 10 option and well behind Colorado, ASU, and UofA as well as many other teams.
