Utah last year how they had no chance to get into the big 12 because BYU owned the market, had the bigger brand and Utah struggled in Rose Bowls…and how Utah was MWC bound.
However, at the time, Utah was trying to keep the PAC 12 together while both the Big 12 and the ACC were extremely interested.
Even to the point potentially of creating a special deal, just for Utah.
Not only was Utah accepted right away, but immediately became one of the favorites to win the conference.
And now you’re claiming that… Utah is obsessed with BYU? lol
I don’t think that has anything to with this.
Like anyone else in their shoes, Utah Is worried about P2, expanding and being left out.
Big 12 Is great, and Utah will doubly remain there and be happy.
But if they have a chance to connect with bigger brands for Longer term stability, they have to look at that.
