        Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

        For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

        Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

          Yeah, after the latest debacle, it is clear SDSU is not ready.

            I think they would be a great fit for the P12!

              Why would the Big 12 take BYU or Houston and not San Diego State? Makes no sense.

                            Still don't have access behind Wilner's paywall (help me obiwan Ted, you're my only hope), but the replies make it seem that Wilner is coming around to Colorado exiting the PAC for the XII.

                                From the article:

                                The decision to remain in the Pac-12 or return to the Big 12 illuminates the university's quest to define itself athletically and academically. What's best for one might not be best for the other.

                                Athletically, a connection to Texas, to a greater extent than even California, is necessary for CU's football recruiting. And there are more blue-chip prospects in the former than the latter: 63 per year in Texas compared to 33 annually in California.
                                But when it comes to issues that impact the university in totality, including both the source and mouth of Colorado's enrollment pipeline, the school seems more suited for the West Coast.

                                - The source: Colorado welcomed 36,000 students in the fall of 2022...and slightly more than half (56 percent) were in-state residents.

                                The out-of-state student population tilts heavily to California. The Golden State is CU's golden ticket - hello, full-cost tuition! - and accounts for 10 percent of the school's total enrollment.

                                There are three times as many students from California as those from Texas.

                                - The mouth: Colorado has approximately 300,000 living alumni, according to the university. About 50 percent reside in Colorado, while the out-of-state alumni base tilts substantially to Northern and Southern California specifically and the West Coast generally.

                                There are more alumni in San Francisco than Colorado Springs, more in Seattle than in Dallas.

                                Donations to the athletic department from California increased 903 percent during CU's first four seasons in the Pac-12, the Boulder Daily Camera reported in 2015.

                                "Where we play is taking us to where our people are," George said at the time.
