Delusional abt national status, like odds of making expanded playoff in PAC & pride. That’s it. They’re simple creatures

If Harlan is saying they don’t want B12 you’ve got to assume they have real #’s

If the AZs say they're waiting on #s, you have to assume they don't have real #s

So is Utah leadership bad, delusional, or we don’t know something as outsiders?

Heaping helpings of all three.

Or they know they arent on the short list

Ooooo. A heaping helping of dessert too!

No, your take is bad. Harlan never said he didn't want the Big12

I think Utah is so averse to "stooping" to BYU's conference that they are

Honestly shocking

And it MAY be true (though I doubt it) that they'd lose more money in grants due

He's probably been told by the president under no circumstances will they move and so he's got to plant his flag

They will take a several million a year less (or more) than what B12 offers

Plus the Big12 isn't talking to them anyway. Sour grapes.

Or possibly that he's saving face in the aftermath of a rejection event.

TReid

Probably not. But Utah could've certainly sensed what the interest level was.
SinkingQuffa
3/17/23 7:01am
Or because the Big12 isn't talking to the yewts but is to the AZs
Brandoblueblood

Yeah, something along lose lines is what I meant

Right, easy to say I don't want Megan Fox when I'll never have a chance anyway

Has Harlan said they don't want Big 12?
krindorr
3/17/23 6:05am
Yes apparently he did that on the radio yesterday- was a not for now
SouthernBlueBlood
3/17/23 6:06am
Just went and listened to his radio interview and didn't hear that
krindorr
3/17/23 6:37am
More to the point though, Harlan also stated they don't have numbers
krindorr
3/17/23 6:40am
That makes more sense- I was listening to Monty guy
SouthernBlueBlood
3/17/23 7:04am
Yeah, sounds like Monty is embellishing what was said to get listeners
krindorr
3/17/23 7:09am
it’s probably coming from this Monty tweet. He teases outlandish things in

I would add that NO AD or President burns a bridge unless it knows it is safe on their side

100% - Utah may well be uninterested (or less interested than AZ) in Big 12, but nobody's unequivocally ruling it out

Utah is special though

Big12Yfan

I made the mistake, you correctly called me on it
Littlerich
3/17/23 11:36am
Can you share a quote where Harlan said he didn’t want the Big12?
Medute
3/17/23 7:00am
Just listening to Monty show yesterday and he said your AD went on a local radio
SouthernBlueBlood
3/17/23 7:05am
“At this time” could be the exact same thing the AZ guys are saying
Medute
3/17/23 7:13am
That Utah radio guy didn’t give that impression but what you’re saying makes

If, hypothetically, the Dodd article was about B1G having discussions with

Those are two very different situations
Medute
3/17/23 7:27am
You are missing the point…
Samurai Jack
3/17/23 7:36am
It was a response toward Dodd, not the Big12
Medute
3/17/23 7:54am
Who is sensitive? It’s good news. Utah definitely should stay in the PAC. I…
Samurai Jack
3/17/23 2:07pm
The PAC is unstable because Or/Wa want BIG10, or at least an unequal share
RWaters
3/17/23 7:40am
Agreed that B1G will decide fate of PAC
Medute
3/17/23 8:04am
Unwavering solidarity is what’s false; of course they’ve looked into options
RWaters

Can you provide a name for said firm? Or you running with the musings of GK.

Robbins was pretty clear in his interviews the last couple of days
Medute
3/17/23 7:57am
Pretty clear that he has talked with Big12 and knows what might be available.
hydrocoug
3/17/23 8:16am
Probably from Monty Show teaser...
BamaCoug
3/17/23 12:18pm
I don’t listen to Monty, but sounds like he likes to stir the pot
Medute
3/17/23 12:22pm
Indeed...
BamaCoug

I don’t think anyone has real #’s as of yet. They have made up numbers, or hope

That’s great we don’t want them anyway. Not additive
Nat Gas Man

Harlan hasn’t seen numbers. I bet it hasn’t even got to the pac 12 ceo group

Utah assuming PAC numbers will be close to B12. That’s all. Probably right.
canofpicante
3/17/23 9:23am
Plus the Big12 isn't talking to them. Remember Harlan said they weren't.
Brandoblueblood
3/17/23 10:13am
Notice Harlan never said “We haven’t talked to the B12”. 🤔
canofpicante
3/18/23 9:47am
Harlan tweeted four words--with 12 total letters. Methinks we've ridden this pony as far as it will go.
ColoSpgs
3/17/23 9:44am
Bad take. He hasn't said that, and Big12 has no reason to want them.
