Gonzaga to the B12 might actually be a thing

I don’t love it. They’d be a better fit in the Big East.

In these modern days of digital interests and tv viewers and stuff, one of the

Boo, not a fan of no-football conf members. Seems little league.

Mitty

I wonder if they’d consider adding football after joining the Big XII

DrBYU

Aren't we a non-football conf member in the WCC?

CharlottesvilleCoug

11/17/22 5:55am

Yes but the WCC doesn't sponsor football

CameronG

Gross. Such a dumb move.

BYUnerd

11/16/22 10:08pm

Dumb and I’m glad UT spanked them tonight.

pt crasher

11/16/22 10:09pm

No doubt they’re a top BBall program.

Vert der Frick

11/16/22 10:09pm

Yeah it's about the worst fit of sports program to conference you could invent.

Mitty

11/16/22 10:15pm

Im struggling to understand why anyone would be against this

boorad

11/16/22 10:14pm

It looks desperate and they’re tiny with no football.

DavisCoCoug

11/16/22 10:18pm

How does it look “desperate” to add the best basketball program in the country?

boorad

11/16/22 10:30pm

Duke is tiny. ND is tiny. Villanova is tiny.

Gentleman Stan

11/16/22 11:27pm

Agreed

Kdubb

11/16/22 10:19pm

Seriously. This sounds like a great idea. Why are people hating on it? Culture?

8-track

11/16/22 10:20pm

The best program of the last decade has zero titles?

garyfan

11/16/22 10:21pm

Yes

bluelands

11/16/22 10:24pm

That’s funny. The Gonzaga love on this board is bizarre.

garyfan

11/16/22 10:25pm

Alright

bluelands

11/16/22 10:33pm

This dodger fan likes where this is going.

Methusaleh22

11/16/22 11:03pm

Easily the most consistently great program over that time period

boorad

11/16/22 10:32pm

Let’s see. Over the last decade…

garyfan

11/16/22 10:40pm

I doubt they would get big $ so they should not dilute the $

I am all for it.

11/16/22 10:25pm

It would basically cement the Big 12 as the premier basketball conference in

Polemic

11/16/22 10:26pm

Big 12 is already cemented as the best. They don’t need a basketball only school

BlooCoog

11/16/22 10:28pm

They are not viewed as the best by anyone in any other conference. Even though

boorad

11/16/22 10:33pm

I think it's consensus the Big 12 is the best, but that's fluid. No harm addin

Methusaleh22

“Fine as is” is how companies lose market share. Grow both when possible.

The_Cuss

11/16/22 10:39pm

Who knows, y’all embarrassing is all I can say.

Bluedomination

11/16/22 10:27pm

Could be an effort to try and entice AZ. Basketball is a huge deal there.

TerpCoug

11/16/22 10:30pm

AZ AND Gonzaga would make B12 to basketball what SEC is to football

Srg

11/17/22 7:54am

Maybe it’s to try and entice Wazzu? Showing them we are willing to take a

11/17/22 8:46am

Gonzaga matchups in the BIG12 will dwarf their current exposure on tv. I like

The_Cuss

11/16/22 10:32pm

We still need 4th time zone in BBall.

11/16/22 10:34pm

Small fanbase with little upside. Take away their winning history and it’s a

Vert der Frick

11/16/22 10:36pm

They're a bigger national bball brand than BYU by quite a bit.

SinkingQuffa

11/16/22 11:02pm

Take away their winning history? Lol. Take away BYU footballs winning history

bigbossbyu

11/17/22 7:15am

Best program in the past decade?

d-coug

11/16/22 10:48pm

I’d say it goes to Villanova. Both have been to the final four 3 times, but

babycarrot

11/17/22 12:58am

Do they continue the dominance when Few leaves?

Samuel Hall Society

11/17/22 8:57am

TNT doesn't get why so many on this board want it. That type of move

TNT

11/17/22 12:09am

It’s 2022, not 2002 or 1992. TV numbers and digital reach matter. Plus brand

Desertcoug85

11/17/22 8:13am

Not for a non-football school

TNT

11/17/22 11:23am

Gonzaga is a big money maker. Conferences already have schools without certain

Desertcoug85

11/20/22 2:04am

Yormark is going too far. This would be a dumb move. Olympic sports travel is

rainorsnow

11/17/22 12:33am

Amen. It just doesn't make enough sense

TNT

11/17/22 1:27am

Losing Texas and Oklahoma hurts both sports, adding Gonzaga helps MBB revenue

Mabuhay Coug

11/17/22 2:03am

We need eyeballs on our CFB games. Everything should be done to prepare for TV

rainorsnow

11/17/22 6:06am

MBB isn't football I get it but Spokane isn't the only place in the US that has

CameronG

11/17/22 9:35am

I think it makes sense as a part of a broader western division only.

fbguru

11/17/22 5:18am

Crazy. Spokane is way too much of an outlier for the BIG12

GerryWorld

11/17/22 8:21am

4th time zone. Gonzaga in the 4th time zone gets the premier billing against another B12 team.

(Private)

11/17/22 8:40am

Midnight? It would be 10 PM ET

CameronG

11/17/22 9:37am

You are right. Man, I need to drink some caffeine this morning.

GerryWorld

11/17/22 10:20am

It happens to all of us

CameronG

Maybe Brett is trolling the PAC on this

runningryan

11/17/22 8:52am

I think some sort of MBB scheduling agreement makes some sense.
