My Ute (SEC homer) buddy is giddy

It’s not actually that crazy. I could see it happening if B1G really values adding more teams from the west.

cougXor

6/2/23 12:58pm

They would add Stanford first

Exactly, they wouldn't take the SLC market and Utah brand over Bay Area and

Especially if the Big10 wants Notre Dame, don't take Utah over Stanford.

If it were up to USC and UCLA, Stanford is probably #1

2022. This source has Utah viewership besting BYU. Utah 33 with BYU ranked 38,

2021: According to the same source Utah #37 / BYU #42. The source includes data

Yeah probably no context needed about who the two teams were playing

BYU '80

The numbers can be adjusted and justified up or down. But in response to the claim that BYU “dominates” the market…

I think you are underestimating

Ha. No, it’s crazy.

Kevin Warren reportedly wanted WA, OR, UT and Stanford to follow USC and UCLA to

Cold fusion. Utah is a joke. AAU rating doesn't matter for them.

Don’t just say “reportedly.” Cite your source… ESPN? Fox Sports? CBS?

Honestly, ASU getting AAU recognition is not great for Utah

krindorr

6/2/23 4:12pm

Why would Big 10 choose Utah over Arizona and Arizona St?

CougaRR4L

6/2/23 4:25pm

Some thoughts on this

krindorr

6/2/23 4:30pm

Could be right on Arizona. Good point on CO though.

CougaRR4L

6/2/23 4:50pm

Yeah, there's some clear counterpoints

krindorr

ASU also announced the start of a Medical School yesterday.

Stanford, CU, Cal in addition to UO/UW would all be Big10 targets before yewtah.

Stanford, Cal, and ASu are all better Big 10 candidates. Utah will never be a

So is Colorado. I think utah would probably be about #8 on the list of PAC

Don't underestimate the ability of their new president to get big things accomplished

Don't underestimate the Utah fan...

Not worried. So far they can’t even consummate a media deal.

he's swearing ESPN, Chicago Post and Columbus Dispatch.. what kind of happy weed

6/2/23 1:14pm

What is the Chicago Post? I lived in Chicago for 10 years, never heard of it

moknowssports

6/2/23 1:18pm

Will it happen? I doubt it. Too many other schools with more value. But Dismissing it completely doesn’t make sense.

Tokolosh

6/2/23 1:18pm

I think this Trojan write-up is still fair for Utah.

Tokolosh

6/2/23 1:21pm

I think it all depends on whether Utah can maintain its success after Whittingham is gone. I'm going to guess no

letthewookieewin

Can Utah maintain its success without USC and UCLA in their division? I'm going

byukarl

6/2/23 1:28pm

I’ve encountered too many BYU fans who take a statement a Ute fan makes and turns it into a crazed story…

Tokolosh

6/2/23 1:45pm

I think your relating how a BYU fan twists what a UU fan says is not that accurate & even if it did happen there are so

Difference is utahs fans that follow football believe nutty things

BYU '80

Incredible how delusional that fan base has become.

LargeTalons

I think Utah has a (smallish) shot if the B1G goes to 24 at some point.

CalGTR

6/2/23 1:57pm

If 24 is their target I’d say the chance is bigger than small. But if the target is only 20 then I’m not sure…

Tokolosh

6/2/23 2:04pm

If the target is 24, I'd put money on ACC schools before I put money on Utah

Buckeye

6/2/23 2:35pm

In the scenario of 24 I think it is fair to assume that the SEC would be involved in that arms race…

Tokolosh

6/2/23 2:45pm

If 24 is the target: Notre Dame, 4 ACC schools, Washington, Oregon gets to 23

I see Utah to the B1G too. Eventually.

I'm pretty sure BYU will be in the SEC eventually; like in the Millennium

I would personally be shocked if the Big 10 took Utah over Colorado

SlyCoug

By every metric that matters, CU would be preferred.
