Leaf has been at P12 Media Days…..not sure where this Cougar Function was taking placeFremontTroll said:
Assuming Fleenor isn’t actually attending Cougar functions his source is probably a guy that heard from a guy that heard from Ryan Leaf.huskyhooligan said:To add, honestly from a geographic perspective, and geographic only, adding Colorado State and BYU would make the most sense. Instant rivalries, and I actually think CSU would be able to up / increase their game. As a person, and I assume a prospect, it's would be easily more attractive than WSU or OSU. They have a new stadium, pretty solid branding, and as I've pointed out before, a New Belgian Brewing bar in the north end of their stadium. My personal opinion is Ft. Collins > Boulder. Boulder in the natural beauty wins but the rest Ft. Collins gets my vote.
Also to stay on topic and to plagiarize: RYAN LEAF IS THE SOURCE!!!??? -

It does nothing to expand the Pac-12 footprint and add more eyeballs/TV revenue though. The remaining west coast markets that don't have a Pac-12 team yet are Boise (BSU), San Diego (SDSU), and Vegas (UNLV). It's embarrassing to even consider adding those programs to the conference but those metro areas will add ~6.5M more potential viewers.huskyhooligan said:To add,

Adding CSU / BYU meshes with the current configuration.
CA
UCLA / USC - 9 Miles apart
Cal / Stanford - 31 Miles apart
OR
OSU / UO - 37 Miles apart
AZ
UA / ASU - 100 Miles apart
UT
UU / BYU - 35 Miles apart
CO
CU / CSU - 39 Miles apart
WA
UW / WSU - 250 Miles apart (fucking coogs)
As for eyes, yeah, sure.
I personally don't think adding more will help the conference. P12 is already losing players to other P5 programs, and I'm not certain from a demographic standpoint, adding teams in the footprint, including UNLV, only adds competition for the prospects out west. That is, any school added from the G5 will become more of a player for talent. Recruiting battles with SDSU and UNLV with this staff, will be special. -
BYU is actually a national audience. Not every Mormon lives in Utah although it’s a lot in the western region already covered by the footprint. But they put butts in seats at home and on the road way better than a lot of teams already in the conference. Would it increase the revenue enough to make sense? I doubt it.
All that said, the university admins are never going to allow it anyways and really the conference should be figuring out how to merge with the major players left over. I wouldn’t be surprised though of they play the academic smack card though and say we’re fine how we are after they were quietly told to fuck off by the big 10. -
How many players on the team right now would not be if BYU were a P5 school?

Doubt it would change much unless they won a bunch of games.1to392831weretaken said:How many players on the team right now would not be if BYU were a P5 school?

Big thanks to DawgNews! Really appreciate the work he puts in for trying to get insider information. A lot of you could learn a thing or two from his support.

You’re going to get a nasty gram from Kim’s attorney.

More than zero. But fewer than 85.1to392831weretaken said:How many players on the team right now would not be if BYU were a P5 school?
I suppose it will depend on how many are of that, to quote the late DJDuck, are of that ilk. And how ilk-y they are. Some of the worst degenerates I’ve ever known came from that ilk, so not all will rush off to Provo.
Butt, many will go.
In 2015 Helf lost two 4-stars to BYU flips. CB Troy Warner (brother of current NFL 1st team All Pro Fred Warner) who would be an instant freshman starter and their best CB for two years before injuries. And a 4-star DE that played as a freshman then medically retired. Haloti Ngata was a former BYU commit.
Now that NIL is a thing if there are any top recruits that are susceptible to weight loss, maybe with parents who are going through a divorce and need money, then BYU becomes close to home.
I’d bet BYU would be similar to Utah but with a slightly different demographic tilt to the roster and an extra handful or two of 4-stars Polys/Mormons mostly taken from the rest of the conference. History repeats itself; inevitable decline for the Ute as the Mormons take over their territory.
I think as long as university presidents have to sign things - this won’t be happening. BYU has academics, but imagine the angry tweets from current Pac-12 students. U of O’s student council eliminated sports ticket purchasing for 2021 in order to use the money for other causes, since only 65% of UO students attend sporting events. They allocated the money to seven programs that more students can benefit from. Number one on the list was a program for free menstruation supplies.
Now - imagine what will happen when Cal student council president Falope Tubes Na-Nidit goes to Wikipedia and sees what BYU believes in. The students at schools that ask them to say their preferred pronouns on the first day of class will be revolting. Also, they will be pissed at the BYU thing. -
