Brandoblueblood Intervention Needed

Plus the Big12 isn't talking to them. Remember Harlan said they weren't.

"Give me a break" in response to a report that the Big12 was talking to the four corner schools.

And it makes sense the Ewe wasn't one of them. They add nothing.

So it's not even an option to join another p5 conference. Gotta ride or die with this one.

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

3/17/23 5:36am

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

Heaping helpings of all three.

3/17/23 5:47am

Or they know they arent on the short list

ABCoug

3/17/23 6:04am

Ooooo. A heaping helping of dessert too!

3/17/23 6:05am

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

3/17/23 5:45am

Honestly shocking

SouthernBlueBlood

3/17/23 5:46am

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

3/17/23 6:02am

Seems the love for what money can buy is ever increasing

More true than you know.

This should exist as a permanent display on the front wall of Congress

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

zonacougar

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

Rocketman

3/17/23 9:27am

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

Brandoblueblood

3/17/23 10:07am

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

SinkingQuffa

3/17/23 5:59am

To clarify Yormark told Utah no? Seems unlikely Yormark would tell Utah no at

SouthernBlueBlood

3/17/23 6:05am

None of them have asked to join

I'mBatman

3/17/23 6:26am

Never asked

TReid

3/17/23 6:46am

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

3/17/23 10:10am

Yeah, something along lose lines is what I meant

SinkingQuffa

3/17/23 10:38am

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

Brandoblueblood

3/17/23 11:13am

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

runningryan

3/17/23 7:40am

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

krindorr

3/17/23 8:22am

Utah is special though

davidsonlaw

The main and enormous difference between Harlan and the AZ pres. was the pres

CouchPotato

I definitely think the University Presidents have more knowledge about things than the ADs do

krindorr

I think the UofU truly thinks they are an elite academic institution because

When did Miami join the Pac12?

Big12Yfan

3/17/23 7:13am

My bad, fixed

Littlerich

3/17/23 7:46am

You are such a great sport

Big12Yfan

3/17/23 10:50am

I made the mistake, you correctly called me on it

Littlerich

3/17/23 11:36am

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

3/17/23 7:09am

Waiting to see their unequal share number

Big12Yfan

3/17/23 7:13am

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

Nat Gas Man

3/17/23 7:34am

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

NacoCoug

3/17/23 7:42am

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

Soupie

3/17/23 8:05am

Don't assume anything when dealing with Yewts, rattlesnakes, scorpions...

Oatmeal

3/17/23 9:02am

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.

Brandoblueblood

3/17/23 10:02am

Never underestimate how egos affect business decisions.
