It’s not about “blaming Utah”. It’s a fact.

If Utah were good at football this year and the matchup were more compelling, the game would’ve been picked up by Fox and be earlier in the day.

I do think it’s a bit weird that the Big 12 moved Utah vs BYU off of rivalry weekend to showcase it

Good point. I don't mind it being in the late slot because I'm in pacific time, but it's a bummer for exposure.

TBH i prefer the late slot (I’m on the east coast) and don’t really care about exposure

But the Big 12 moved the game off rivalry weekend when the expectation was that Utah would be good and BYU bad

They moved it to a week with less competition for eyeballs

Right. So they got exactly the game that was projected in the offseason, just reversed.

I don’t know what you’re looking for here.

I don’t get it. It’s the entire purpose of the thread.

In the OP he says he doesn't understand the rationale.

Bad BYU is a bigger draw than bad Utah.

I’m not comfortable with the implied inverse of this statement so I will ignore it.

I think the “showcase” bit is a line and that both teams wanted a bye week

It’s really late, and it’s all Utah’s fault.
