But to think it's guaranteed is foolish.

To you Yewt sympathizers, who want them in the BIG12…

Who wants them in the Big12? Let's identify them and fight them together!

Hear that? Reveal yourselves!!!

Me, I harbor no ill will to the Utes... when they play BYU, I want them all to suffer, otherwise, I root for them, they

You've got courage, ChinaFan. And for that, thumbs up. 😎

I used to be admire their accomplishments and was even jealous but the revelation...

I want them to become the kid brother to USU…

I don't think so!

I want them in, too. After 10 years of them being in the PAC MWC

Before I make my opinion, how do you feel when US competes against China?

in business? in sports (WC, Olympics)? life in general? Answers below

Ha, I just meant sports and I'm glad we can agree. It was fun to read the rest.

sah22

I want them in. I want to play them every year and beat them every year.

I hope that we have already played our last game against the U of U.

The Rivalry is in the past now. No need for them in the future.

I don’t really want them in BIG 12 but I don’t want no rivalry. It is one of the

The market for competitive programs

TFL

2/26/23 8:21pm

Utes will never understand that you don't win your way into a better conference.

tacallaway

The world is not a meritocracy

akbarishiwatsu

The Big12 is already competitve top to bottom

CougarCanuck76

2/26/23 8:36pm

If the Big 12's calling card is competitive top to bottom, all the more reason why Utah would be a top target

TFL

2/26/23 10:21pm

When's the last time Utah beat a non PAC12 P5 team?

davidsonlaw

2/26/23 11:42pm

Nah...comments like this tweet are more commonplace.

TFL

2/27/23 12:57am

Matters SO MUCH

davidsonlaw

2/27/23 3:05am

It's not the article. It's just the tweet and where he categorized the Utah football program

TFL

2/27/23 10:53am

The point stands unopposed

davidsonlaw

2/27/23 4:58pm

This is nonsense. Ute fans care about Utah. Look at how many showed up in Las Vegas and Pasadena.Utah went to final four

BYU already smashed one P5 conference, yours.

Brandoblueblood

2/28/23 4:58pm

Yeah, that lost its savor when they got crushed in Eugene, gotta win in the tough venues to claim "smashing".

TFL

2/28/23 7:51pm

Camp Randall, Memorial, DKR, Neyland and the Coliseum come to mind.

kiyoshige

2/28/23 8:48pm

All great wins. No hate. But barely beating mediocre teams by a missed PAT or one play is not the same as BYU vs.

TFL

2/28/23 9:37pm

I am the first to concede Utah excellence on the field has been much better

kiyoshige

2/28/23 10:43pm

Well said

TFL

3/1/23 1:23am

Now that we are not on the DI budget I think we can follow Utah's blueprint

kiyoshige

3/1/23 6:48am

That's so cool. Totally agree. That's why I've never really understood members who knock BYU

TFL

3/1/23 2:12pm

Except that 5-1 stretch also came with a dominating win against Utah.

Brandoblueblood

3/1/23 2:28pm

Nah, going 5-1 is still a smashing. Ha, gotta win in Eugene...

Brandoblueblood

3/1/23 2:27pm

It's legit. I rooted for BYU half those games. Loved the ASU ending. How can you not be a fan of that guy?

TFL

3/1/23 8:39pm

If that's the case, why not try independence? See how the market treats

kiyoshige

2/27/23 6:52am

Because Utah makes more money outperforming within their conference. Big 12, Pac 12, ACC all can benefit

TFL

2/27/23 4:24pm

I think most people recognize PAC is a Poser

Brandoblueblood

2/27/23 8:10pm

Nah...that's just BYU fan logic

TFL

2/27/23 8:14pm

Lots of "nahs" from you. Drinking away your sorrows?

Brandoblueblood

2/28/23 8:05am

Just on silly comments. Pac had half the conference in the top 20 and will have the same half start next season ranked

TFL

2/28/23 7:49pm

Based on what wins, against themelves? We all can see those rankings were infla

Brandoblueblood

3/1/23 8:36am

Was Utah more valuable than BYU in the WAC/MWC?

kiyoshige

2/27/23 11:05pm

The viewership, conference take down money and credibility of Utah's BCS runs (and TCU's) had far more impact

TFL

2/28/23 8:06pm

Right. So take it to independence. See how you survive that.

kiyoshige

2/28/23 8:50pm

What kind of deal would ESPN give?

davidsonlaw

2/28/23 9:10pm

BYU just finished 11th win a magical 1-loss season. Utah finished 11th and 10th with 4 losses. Who has brand

TFL

2/28/23 9:41pm

Right. For all those reasons you will do just fine in independence.

kiyoshige

2/28/23 10:44pm

Like going to the swamp and beating a 7-6 Florida team ... oh wait ...

davidsonlaw

Brandoblueblood

2/28/23 10:41pm

Yeah, they hated mormons so they took...Utah. Lol. If Utah was flash in the pan

TFL

3/1/23 1:27am

With that resume and an unlimited ceiling you would think every media outlet

kiyoshige

3/1/23 6:55am

No because utah has a small fanbase, inherent limitations and had to earn their way to a P5 and then produce

TFL

3/1/23 2:14pm

Uh. You know the BCS was temporary right? Success only in the BCS=flash in pan

Brandoblueblood

3/1/23 11:05am

Gotta live in your era. BYU was relevant in the WAC. Not in the MWC. Boise the same. Both Utah and TCU

TFL

3/1/23 8:22pm

Relevance is so much more than on field success.

kiyoshige

3/1/23 9:17pm

Our opposition to or support of the Utes to the B12...

Ushuaia

2/26/23 8:51pm

This is such a lame ideology, similar to betting against your team.

tacallaway

2/26/23 9:04pm

Yep.

Ushuaia

2/26/23 9:05pm

No Cougs WANT them in. But it’s delusional to say they won’t be in.

They're a good TV draw the last two seasons when they're in national games

canofpicante

2/26/23 10:24pm

How is normalizing TV ratings "hypotheticals"?

tacallaway

2/26/23 10:39pm

We don’t know what anyone’s TV ratings will be in the future.

canofpicante

2/27/23 12:33am

Sure, then look at the past. Outside the last two years, ratings were mediocre.

tacallaway

2/27/23 9:20am

this is the reality of the situation

kiyoshige

2/27/23 6:55am

Absolutely the best explanation and how each of us should view the Utes.
