The Big 12 expansion groundswell

As for the new Pac-12 members, Colorado is 24th in the nation (14.78 million [in profit, i.e., net revenue]). And Utah? From the story:

Utah, which recently accepted a bid to leave the Mountain West for the Pac-10 Conference, had the greatest net profit [among non-automatic-qualifying teams] at $6.54 million, which ranks 49th among all 120 FBS schools. Utah, however, was the exception among non-automatic qualifying BCS schools, as 34 of the 51 either showed no profit or lost money.

Most non-AQ programs lose money, as the article notes. And I've heard a huge percentage of BCS programs do.

Colorado is no. 3 in the new Pac 12, a hair behind no. 2 Washington.

The new BYU outlook in the cylcle of grief is to try to carve into our joy. Red Leg (an obvious fake) is doing that with his latest post...

Rock Chalk, Jayhawk! Beat SU!

It's interesting that Utah is turning a profit considering the very inexpensive ticket prices. Dr. Hill and co. are obviously doing a great job.

will you guys knock it off? BYU is not going to the Big 12. If you wanted in the Big 12, you should have thought that through before you threatened one of the big dogs in the conference. (so not bitter.)

Besides, official word is that the conference is not expanding for two years, and at that point will more likely dissolve than expand.

All right. Who put out the bat beacon?

You sound like DDD before he went MIA in regards to Utah joining the PAC-10.

Shame on you. It's a work of genius, not pornography. Haven't you learned anything from the pac 10 snub?

I totally agree! No way that lil' guy has a career in the industry.

It wasn't a PAC-10 snub, BYU had decided to snub you PAC-10 types and your creepy statues long before you had a chance to snub them.

I think John the Baptist has a defamation case against Rodin.
