The PAC 10 expansion groundswell

[SeattleUte]

Oh brother.

My list of good BYU fans was not meant to be exhaustive. You have surprised me in a good way, kind of made up for 3D's absense.

Who?

[FN Phat]

Please, now we'll be subjected to a series of posts where SU cherry picks points he made that actually came to pass.

Nailed it, didn't I.

Nailed it, didn't I.

Pretty much except for the inconvenient truth that BYU does accept federal grants and contracts. How embarrassing for you.

[FN Phat]

I believe you also mentioned that bYu will be a better fit for the Big 12.

As kind as your words may be, nobody can make up for 3D's absence.

But back to the point being made by you and UD. These Cougar Fans are embarassing the rest of CougarNation. It happened folks. Now nut up. We don't view our program, our success, or our university through the prism of any other school or any other conference. We'll leave that to lesser institutions.

An honest question: Are these folks representative of the majority or minority of BYU fans?

The Y fans on this board are moving on, yet CB doesn't seem to be. Which board is representative of who BYU fans really are?

True. It was a tough pill to swallow but we can only deal with what we have. Utah, Boise and TCU have reached the pinnacle that we need to achieve in the short term and it is the only thing the institution can control.

For right now, it's probably CB. Bunch of babies.

BYU is a better fit in the Big 12. The problem is (apparently) Texas fancies itself the Berkely/Palo Alto axis in Texas.

[Jeff Lebowski]

One thing is clear. The weight of obsession with the rival has definitely shifted to BYU.

Mercury News: Pac-10 expansion raises many questions

How much of the new revenue is a direct result of adding Colorado and Utah, which bring the Denver and Salt Lake City television markets, respectively?

"Gaining Colorado is absolutely meaningless for TV purposes," said a consultant who has negotiated TV deals for college conferences. "And gaining Utah is close to meaningless."

His reasoning: Because neither school has a large national following, ESPN and FSN won't have any reason to bid more than they would for the 10-team league.

Ouch.
