No wonder he is bitter. -
Like myboynoah I want to keep things balanced. So here's Stewart Mandel from Sports Illustrated:
This ESPN report seems pretty balanced too:From the outset, Scott said he'd be equally comfortable with a 12-team league. While it's not nearly as big of a splash as the proposed Pac-16, it still allows the conference to start a championship game (which Scott very much wants), adds a very solid football program (I personally believe Utah, once it gets its expected invite, will contend for the league title within two years of its arrival) and a top 20 television market (Colorado/Denver) in advance of next year's contract negotiations. As the Big 12 learned this week, there is a lot of television money to be had out there, and Scott will undoubtedly elicit a bidding war.

Scott Cushing in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer:
As for Utah, every team in the Pac 10 should be scared to death of them. They are a juggernaut that just gained some legitimacy in California. They have a fantastic coach who is not going anywhere. They have proven themselves on the football field in big bowl games year after year. They have a huge home-field advantage because they play at altitude (actually, same with Colorado) One word: watchout.“There is a great deal of difference in believing something still, and believing it again.”

Pat Forde says both the Pac 12 and Utah are among the winners:

He is right. This is a perfect time for Utah to join the PAC-12.Originally posted by LA Ute View Post"There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."
