“When my life leaves me, it won’t be because the other guy was hotter or richer or whatever. It’ll be because I was complacent, unappreciative, and completely misread the situation for years!”

Sounds like Alex is posturing for when everything goes down. I'm just as excited to see the aftermath of these Pac 12 homers once schools start to leave as the teams joining the Big 12 itself.

Not exactly sure.

I've said all along, why do we want Utah anyways? They have the ego of Hawkeye fans yet the pedigree of Boise State. They should be happy they got to play big boy football for 10 years. Go get the three "4 corner schools" not named Utah and get the best available 4th.

I didn’t think much about their resume until someone mentioned that Utah had not beaten a P5 outside the PAC since like 19 or 17.

It's probably true. But things with basketball are so widely dispersed across more teams and games per week to a point that advertisers value is in going where the biggest groups of viewers are.
I'm not an advertiser, nor am I familiar with the industry. But, given the state of structured information, I'd be shocked if the process isn't more commoditized. In other words, advertising dollar per viewer. If that's true, advertising is beneficial no matter what the venue. But the cost to the advertisers is adjusted accordingly.

I would guess it is largely # of repeat viewers by demographic, and unique viewers by demographic.

I really want this to end and the PAC to go away but it's also too much fun watching guys their media guys come up with conspiracy after conspiracy.

i really want the big 12 to leave Utah out in the cold. F them. Arizona and Colorado is all we really need there.

utah can tag along with oregon and washington in a zombie pac until the big 10 comes and finishes that off. at which point they are most likely left out again in favor of actual brands.

utah is not a team player and an eventual cancer.

Utah's official stance is anyone but BYU. It's weird and delusional.
they have spent 10 years rubbing the "pac 12 prestige" in BYUs face and now they are in the awkward position of possibly being conference mates.

I wasn't in favor of taking Colorado until ASU and Utah starting revealing they are beatches. Take those two and let the rest twist in the wind. That would force the PAC to add 2 schools to stay alive.

Yeah I think I am on the Arizonas first, then Colorado and Utah only if necessary. Colorado is same size, twice the endowment, incremental territory compared to Utah. They were once good at sports - can be again with the right AD and the right hires. I'm ignoring UW/UO because what's the point in keeping them for 4-5 years until the B1G calls?

Maybe you just take 2 for now, wait on the ACC future. By then UW/UO will be moving on too. If you decide you need UU and CU you can grab them then for free. Just taking 2 now also puts crazy pressure on all of them. I think that's why the SDSt and Gonzaga rumors are out there - to make they think we won't take all 4 so one or two will crack first.

Basically when/if any one school decides they have had enough of faffing about with no good TV contract and loses faith in the future of the PAC, it's over.
