Taking Utah a "Major Disappointment" for Pac10

[BoiseBYU]

Why was everyone saying that Nebraska going to the Big-10 was going to be the start of the domino effect? Sound Texas was the key piece all along to the dissolution of the Big-12 and creation of the Pac-16.

I've never liked Texas, but sounds like they deserve some respect for showing loyalty and single-handedly saving the Big-12

It also helps that they got lots more money for staying....

The rich gets richer but it still leaves the seeds for future disbutes.

Because nothing was going to happen if Nebraska decided to stay. Once they decided that's when the heat was turned up for the rest of the Big 12-11-10?

No respect for Texas on my part for staying, the only reason they stayed is because they made more money staying than going. Am I happy they stayed? Absolutely, I loathe the idea of the super conferences because it would completely destroy college football for 60% of D1 teams.

At first I thought this was funny, but the more I thought about it, the angrier I got.

If they take Utah, and Utah is a "major disappointment," what does that make a school that didn't even make it to major-disappointment-but-we'll-still-throw-a-lot-of-money-at-you status?

I would be loyal too if they paid me that much.

It's all about the $$$$. Money talks - the B.S. walks!! End of story. This was an attempt by the PAC-10 to grab & form an elite football conference w/ a HUGE TV contract! It nearly worked - but fell short. Texas still won -lots of $$$ coming their way. If the Yewts stay - I firmly believe the MWC can become an elite football conference - now - w/ the addition of Boise St. - and continuing to win solid Out of Conference games. If the Yewts stay - it looks good. If they leave - screw them & the mangy horse they rode in on!!!!

I believe the correct phrase is "screw them and the mangy date they rode in on!!"

It makes you a school with a much bigger following and that brings in more revenue but is politically not aligned with damn pot smoking hippies, men who go after strange flesh, and people who kill babies.

Why are you bringing the French in on this Schmoe?

It like Woody Allen, a fine Frenchman, said:
“If only God would give me some clear sign! Like making a large deposit in my name at a Swiss bank.”
