  • On a scale of 1-10, how upset would you be...

    Let's play the assume game...

    On a scale of 1-10, how upset would you be if BYU was extended an offer to the Big 12 (a Big 12 with Texas and Oklahoma committed for at least 5-years) and decided to turn it down. Let's also assume that BYU can still keep their deal with BYUtv and ESPN for the most part.

    One is not upset at all, ten is I would no longer cheer for or support BYU athletics. (poll coming)
    56
    1 (Not at all, BYU knows what is best for BYU)
    8.93%
    5
    2
    7.14%
    4
    3 (Disappointed, but understand there may have been risks BYU not willing to take)
    7.14%
    4
    4
    7.14%
    4
    5 (I'm mad, but I'm a Coug fan and will always support my team)
    26.79%
    15
    6
    19.64%
    11
    7 (Upset to the point that I won't attend games, but will watch on TV)
    8.93%
    5
    8
    5.36%
    3
    9 (So mad I'm now a Utah fan)
    5.36%
    3
    10 (So mad I will give up college sports totally)
    3.57%

    I would be a ten but would still cheer for BYU.

    It would be idiotic to turn down a Big 12 invite.

    Just for basketball alone how could you not want Kansas, K-State, Texas, etc. coming to the Marriott?

    And you look at football scheduling and how tough it will be to get decent home and homes going forward and it is an absolute no-brainer to go to the Big 12.

      Given those parameters 10 isn't high enough.

        I would have picked 10 if it didn't include giving up college sports. Your scenario is a no brainer to accept the offer.

          What offer?

          It's just like last year around here.

              Why is there no "giddy" option for Seattle and LA?

                In order for me to give an answer I am going to have to assume the reason is because the admin. wants control and that is more important than providing a top notch schedule.

                If they actually start having a great schedule beginning in 2013, I would rescind my vote.

                  It's there. I bet you can figure out which option it is...

                    Whoops - I voted before I saw the assumption that BYU could keep their current TV deal. If that case, I would be more upset than a 3. I would still keep my season tickets but I would be upset.

                      Somewhere between six and eight.

                        Big 12 schedule would be a huge improvement in ALL sports. Competition, recruiting, money, and the "exposure" that BYU is looking for would all be better than what they have now. It would be really dumb for them to turn down an invite.

                        However, I really think a Big 12 invite is a lot farther reach than many BYU fans would hope to believe. As much as I like BYU, they do carry a lot of baggage.

                        (I voted 6)

                          Sounds like a 7 to me.

                            I am not sure agree with the poll choices. Shouldn't item 10 be something like "I will commit seppuku on the 50-yard line at LES and the stain of my crimson red blood will stand forever as a witness to this shameful outrage"?

                            I mean "Give up college sports"? That doesn't make sense.

                              9 makes no sense in any context, irrespective of this B12 issue.
