Remarkably, the Big-12 was saved by adding a school that proudly discriminates that no one else wanted and a couple of G5 schools and somehow stayed alive.

      Now the Big-12 can murder the Pac-12. The question is will they do it or will they leave them on the side of the road bleeding out and run the the risk of a miracle?

      Don't be a pussy Yormack. Don't make the same mistake Larry Scott made. Murder them. Finish the job. Take Arizona, Utah, and ASU and end the Pac-12.
      No way would pac12 have been able to raid b12. That’s pure fantasy. P12 had been the weakest p5 football
      conference for several years with multiple programs in financial ruin.

        Unfortunately, the BYU admin has read the New Testament.

            Let’s hope the admin is full of Levites or Priests.
            "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

              I think you are forgetting how desperate the Big-12 was when Texas and Oklahoma left. Also, it had on multiple occasions over the previous decade almost fallen apart.

              The Pac-12 offers and TCU and Oklahoma St would have been gone and the conference is dead.

                But the P12 couldn’t do it on account of arrogance/hubris. Now they are going to pay for that arrogance. Karma.

                  We agree on that.

                  So Big-12, do the right thing and murder the Pac-12. Utah, ASU, and Arizona will get that done.

                    On that topic, I saw an interesting comment on that the other day. In the end, the P12 teams that will pay the heaviest price for P12 hubris will be schools like WSU, OSU, ASU, etc who probably were NOT the ones voting to reject prior additions out of academic snobbery. Funny how life works.

                      I wonder if WSU and OSU would have voted no on BYU. No doubt Stanford and Cal did, and maybe USC and WA (I wonder about uofutah) voted no. Just crazy how clueless the PAC has been.

                      Looking back, when ESPN and FOX singed on with the XII, they knew that the PAC was out there looking for a deal. They both opted for the XII instead.

                      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."

                          Ha. Yes, I only took one year of Roman in high school.

                            Lol. No way would either school go to P12.

                              Isn’t there some prophecy about this? Like the destruction of SLC or something like that?

                              • So with the B1G news today, someone tell me what incentive the Big XII has to offer more than one more full share spot? First one to jump gets a full share.
