The Ute fans need to butt the hell out. They're killing this thread.
See... being mean like this is why Larry Scott doesn't want Pac12 teams to play you guys.

It's OK, I can take it. I'll leave. My feelings are relatively unhurt. Well, pretty much. But there's no need for profanity.

Your facts are half correct. There is pressure on Utah's athletic department to put the Holy War on hold, but it is not from the PAC-12. It is from higher up in the administration at the University. And I can assure you that my two sources on the topic absolutely trump anything you think you have.

Yes, a picture that would not hurt my feelings. I know about you.

I agree with Mr Goat on this. I'm interested in understanding the "real reasons" not to play BYU.
And how did my thread turn into merchandise and seat prices smack?
Here are the reasons. Utah (& the pac12 in general) wants/needs home games to show on the P12 network and for the appropriate school make more money. If byu were to humble themselves and agree to 2 for 1 Utah would have signed an ongoing agreement to play every year. Since that wasn't going to happen Utah and byu take a break for a couple of years.

Why at this point would BYU need to humble themselves? Perhaps you are running smack and thus I will give you a pass on making such a ridiculous statement.
Maybe 5 years from now, you can legitimately make the statement, however currently BYU humbling themselves and accepting a 2-1 with Utah.
Utah fans have to realize, you are in a big boy conference, however you aren't one of the big boys.

I was being sarcastic.

Okay, so please provide a SERIOUS reason for Utah not wanting to play BYU.
