“You add 4 schools and go from 5 states to 8 states.”

Meaning…2 schools from 1 state.

That’s a pretty specific number/statement.

4 corner schools close???

Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark on his aggressive approach to expansion:

"It's an interesting thing in this industry. You get scrutinized if you wake up one morning and take two teams from another conference. I'm gong to be very transparent about my desires to go national." pic.twitter.com/udyIyY59FL

Arizona, ASU, Colorado and SDSU (please no)?

10/26/22 7:31am

Interesting, 4 corners only adds 2 states. Wonder if SDSU is on standby?

Yep. Those additions brought it from 5 states:

This, the Big 12 already has Texas, Oklahoma, Iowa, Kansas, West Virginia

Makes sense.

5 states to 8 states is talking about UCF, BYU, Cinci and BYU.

10/26/22 7:44am

He also said every time zone. So PST will need to be added.

SolidBlue

10/26/22 8:23am

So he probably misspoke on then. Cuz everything else he said

There is a break in the clip. He starts talking about his desire to go national

Do they really need PST or does an 8:30 start at BYU fill that void for half a

Getting BYU twice? New conference could be a dumpster fire.

Please Brett, no utah. Their fans don't want it, we don't want it. Please.

With the way BYU is playing, maybe Utah goes BIG12, BYU

Pergamino

That could be a deal if Utah came with $1B.

I would love SDSU as a member. Great place at attend games,

Fact: the Big12 needs So Cal for recruiting, for conf clout, & for marketing.

SinkingQuffa

10/26/22 9:13am

Except the $$$

Nat Gas Man

10/26/22 10:16am

In terms of investment & future, adding So Cal bumps every Big12 team up.

10/26/22 11:48am

Not sure SDSU can garner the $30-$40M just to break even.

Nat Gas Man

10/26/22 12:32pm

It brings more than a market. It brings a valuable regional stage to the Big12
