Have you seen the attendance numbers for the two conferences? You think some B12 schools want to go to Berkley, Palo Alto, Pullman, Corvallis, etc to play in empty stadiums late at night? And from a basketball standpoint, there is no comparison."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

Yep.Originally posted by BigFatMeanie View PostAll kinds of people tweeting all kinds of stupid stuff about expansion right now. I mean really stupid stuff.
If it's not from an accredited journalist at a major media outfit, I don't believe a word of it."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

Do not add Utah to the B12! Adding them would be horrible. Why would the B12 share the SLC market when it can let Utah either and die while BYU eats up market share.
Add Colorado (BYUs new rival) and the AZ schools and maybe Wyoming.
"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

Yeah 50/50 is too pessimistic as I too think the Big 12 is in a stronger position. Maybe 60/40 in our favor. Oddly, the confederation of solid programs with large fan bases, but no slam dunk blue bloods that everyone wants will be our strength this round of realignment.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View Post

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Strong enough teams to be a decent conference, but no blue bloods left to get pulled apart.Originally posted by Omaha 680 View Post

I think it is more like 80/20. The next few days/weeks will be interesting."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

McMurphy agrees with meOriginally posted by LiveCoug View PostI'm a bid scared for BYU right now, honestly. Best case scenario would be B12 roping in the Arizona schools and Utah Colorado.
That would be just fine
