"sources are telling ABC 4 Sports that Utah will be invited to join the PAC 10 conference, but not BYU. The Cougars could wind up in the Big 12...or staying put in the MWC."

I really don't see it happening. As much as we love to hate the :utard: :utard: , the two schools are pretty tied together, and have been for a loooooong time. Could change, but I would be surprised.

Good-bye Utah!



The only down side - w/ the Yewts in the PAC-10 (PAC-12), they would have serious power w/ top recruits in the Utah area. Having the opportunity to play - and get National press coverage is very alluring to an aspiring athlete w/ NFL ambitions. It would be a recruiting goldmine for the Yewts. Otherwise - stick a fork in them!!

:crazy:

Here's the hard news:

I would love to kick the pukes into the Pathetic 10 (12) and move to the Big XII, it might even take some of the venom out of the rivalry, which would be nice for a change.

Yes. Let the Yewts roll around in their own vomit. I've had enough of them to last a life time.

If they are good enough, they are already recruited by teh pac 10 anyway. i wouldn't care if they went and we stayed. we would have free sailing to a bcs bowl every year while they would struggle to have winning seasons every year. i would prefer to be atop the mwc with an auto bid to p10 at the bottom or middle.

Where there's smoke, there's fire...



That's not to say that Utah WILL get invited, but I can GUARANTY you that the president's in the Pac-10 have and/or are currently considering it.



Geographically and "liberal-minded-ly" (yes, that is now a word!), the :utard: is a good fit for the dope-smoking, tree-hugging, gay-marrying, Prius-driving, granola-crunching, legs-not-shaving hippies in the Pac 0.

I would love nothing more than to see Utah go to the Pac10 and BYU to the Big12. Seriously, are you kidding me? SLC/Provo area would be the coolest sports hub in the West. Imagine Utah hosting USC on the same day BYU hosts Nebraska or Oklahoma or Texas. Honestly, this would be huge for this town if it ever went down that way. Plus, could always play late in the year still--like Georgia and Georgia Tech do, or early in the year, like Iowa and Iowa State. The rivalry would still be huge, just different.

It could add a whole new dimension to the rivalry. You think the Holy War has a religious basis now? Just wait.

Military intelligence, business ethics, clean coal, forward lateral, and "a credible Utah news organization."



It is to laugh.

Utah has many credible news sources, at least as far as any news source is credible (KSL). But there is absolutely nothing credible about ABC4. They are the biggest joke in Utah.

Hey, Karen Carlson is sorta hot. So is Christiann Brady, but she disappeared. They got that. But ABC4 sports is not good. Cheap all the way and it shows.

A couple of my favorite quotes from the article:

Disappointed Ute fans would be deflated even further when Scott (Pac 10 Commissioner) responded directly to the rumor that Utah was actively being considered as a potential expansion option by stating that although the PAC-10 was considering expansion they “would not do anything as rash or stupid as inviting Utah.”

:utard:

What is certain is that nothing has been decided yet. It’s possible that the PAC-10 has decided to extend an invite to Utah based on the strength of their basketball program, knowing that the Utes will do little to disrupt the current balance of power in the conference. Brigham Young University was reportedly the top target of the PAC-10 until their recent string of lop-sided victories against PAC-10 schools in both football and basketball, worried the conference that they would become BYU’s collective whipping boy. It looks like that success has come at a price, as Scott said in a February 2 interview with the San Jose Mercury News that inviting BYU would be the equivalent of the conference collectively slitting their wrists, knowing that their pampered boys would be dominated by the mature men BYU regularly fields.

:evil:



and finally this nugget:

Furthermore, there was a noticeable increase in the purchase of Utah merchandise today in the PAC-10 footprint as a FANZZ store in Visalia reported that it sold a crimson red Utah hat to a fan. However, eyewitness accounts cast doubt on the circumstances of the situation and suggest that the "Ute fan" was in fact a University of Miami fan who purchased the hat after her found the store was already sold out of Miami hats with their iconic U logo.

:lol: I guess Miami fans are about as dumb as Utah fans.

seems like the uncredible utah news organization was followed today by several postings on ESPN about the same rumor...

I'd love it. Utah would sink into mediocrity that is the pac10 while BYU would continue to ride the wave that the MWC has become. AND I'm sure that BYU and utah would continue their rivalry. One more pac-10 team to beat every year.



IF (big if still) Utah and colorado go to pac10, I would think it only natural that BYU would slide into the spot that opens. Unless of course TCU gets the nod. Who knows. Any way it goes down, BYU is going to be good the next couple years.

I talked with a High Up in the BYU athletic department a few weeks ago and he says that Utah has nothing to offer the PAC-10 by themselves. It's all about money and Utah would add next to nothing to the PAC as far as money goes. The SLC TV market is not nearly big enough to be enticing for the PAC and their fan base is not big enough to help sell tickets to PAC games. The importance of wins and athletic performance pale in comparison to the all mighty dollar.



Based of of that assessment by him a few weeks ago I would say that this is a rumor and nothing more.

If that should happen, perhaps BSU would come into the MWC, so BYU can start beating up on them yearly. It kills me that they have as good a record against us as we have against Texas and OU. It also kills me that I haven't had any opportunity to needle my little brother (BSU grad) after a BYU victory. We've got to get this situation corrected. :evil:
