If you were Yormark, who would you pick and who would you leave flailing in the wind? I say take Oregon, Washington, the Zona two and be done. Leave Cal, Stanford, and especially Utah screwed over.
I take 3. Oregon. Washington. Utah.
Utah & BYU is a pretty solid rivalry. Utah has a pretty good thing going right now & has shown some ability to sustain it. That’s just me speaking from a fans perspective.
Oregon and Washington are no brainers.
I think you’ve said this before……why so much dislike for Utah!!!
The Zona schools are coming. Mark it down

From one report I had heard, Utah wasn’t even taking calls from the Big 12 office about joining. They think they are too good for us, like most of the PAC 12 was before things got crazy. Until then, I had no issue with Utah.
They hate BYU. Go read up on some of that stuff. Actual, legit hatred.

I have read a couple places that the zona schools have a desire to stay together and that while Arizona is receptive to the B12 Arizona St not so much. So the meeting this evening maybe focused on coming to some kind of collective conclusion/decision among the two schools. If the result is both zona schools coming to the B12 then that leaves room for 2 more, assuming there is a hard stop at 16 teams, that means one of the Oregon, Washington, Utah list is going to be left hanging again assuming that any of those schools see the B12 as a viable option.
You have Colorado. Adding the Zona schools gets to 3. I think they add 1 more.
It’ll be Utah.

YT channel D1 360 has the best #'s breakdown I’ve seen - media markets, recruiting markets, financials
Crap yea forgot about the Buff’s so yea Utah maybe the last one.
Its funny this fits like osu recruiting. You guys think 4 and 5 star should just show. Just like great teams should come to the big 12. Reality is tuff
I guess gundy and big 12 recruit the same
I sure will. Thanks.
“This thing is going to shake out with Oregon and Washington in the Big 10. They dont want to play in the Big 12, which they right now think is a lesser Conf. “
NAILED IT. Like I said……don’t believe any of these public stances.
Big 12 is up against even a half share in the Big 10 or SEC being more $'s that we can offer.
They will all take what they want, then we pick from the rest.
But even a half share of Big 12 is likely more than a Apple+ subscription deal.
Not that brilliant of a prediction LOL. Oregon to the B12 was just wishful thinking on my part, nothing more than that.
