POLL: Would you like to play USU regularly in basketball?

Yes, but only alternating between Marriott and Delta Center

it gives them legitimacy and we always seem to lose money on these
Archaea

Whatever happens, they will complain. Utah owes them games far more than BYU
Gustav

This. BYU is a national school seeking to improve and owes the state nothing.
Archaea

lose money? If our fans will sell out the stadium and pay big prices for 8 Q4

I'm good w 1:1:1. USU's been good to us in Independence. We shouldn't be petty — frankly, like we've been lately.

The fans there are toxic and petty. I like contests with fans where the fans
Archaea

We're in the Big 12 now. Give it some time, USU won't be that bad, in comparison, probably.
SinkingQuffa
11:41am
I like contests against Kansas, Houston, Baylor, UCF or Arizona.
Archaea
11:42am
But it's tradition, man. USU has done pretty well for themselves over the years.
SinkingQuffa
11:44am
It's not a tradition national tvs care about. If we want to be a national

By dropping a historical rival who's one of he better G5 programs out there? No thanx. Let the SEC & B1G

We do that in how our players conduct themselves, a la Kansas State not by

Most USU fans don't hate BYU. That's the crowd scum. There's PLENTY of that in Big12, too. Just wait till we've

Unable to quantify but enough hate BYU to make the relationship toxic. It's more

Seems like from a resume standpoint we have benefited from playing @ USU.

Now that we are in the Big XII, it's not at the top of my list

our nonconference schedule sucks. USU series is an easy way to get a more

So give us Kentucky, UNC, UConn, Syracuse et al. Not USU, Weber State
Archaea

I am fine with the big names too. But to get those bigger names to come to

BYU has a big time arena, and atmosphere that tv loves.
Archaea
11:53am
All of our Q4 home nonconference games last season were on ESPN+. TV channels
cwilke1
11:58am
And we remain on ESPN+ with USU
Archaea
12:23pm
ok but USU is a much more interesting game. If you're not in-state, why do you
cwilke1
12:27pm
Definitely more interest in in-state or regional games
CameronG

I'm not defending the low level games because I'd rather seen high level games
Archaea

USU fans aren't any more toxic than Utah fans, were you advocating for canceling
CameronG
3:16pm
Yes. I also opposed bringing them into the Big XII.
Archaea
3:19pm
When we were MWC I hated big teams ducking us. I think we man up and beat them in the spectrum once every 3rd year.

11:42am
Do you want national exposure or just exposure in the state of Utah?
Archaea
11:45am
our 8 Q4 home games sure aren't giving us national exposure.
cwilke1
11:53am
We did that before we knew what sort of team we were going to have. Win big this
Archaea
11:54am
that's bogus - our nonconf schedule was announced after we already had Demin

And NOT be scared of losing to them every now & again. USU is a good program. Even w KY's recruiting

Now that they are Pac 12 I believe we can only beg them for Away-Home-Away.

The results of this poll show the predominance of Utah based fans. Local fans
Archaea

No.......... unless it is a 3 to 1 or something like Home, Home, Delta, Away.

Most P5 programs don't play more than 1-2 road games OOC

I'd favor every year with a four-game rotation of 1H, 1A, 2N in the Delta center
Mitty

I don't mind it, they're usually a quality team and it's a usually a Q1 or Q2
CameronG
12:30pm
There’s no reason in basketball not to schedule in-state teams.
Yukon

I don't mind a 2-for-1 with Weber
