The Big 12-Utah marriage seems like it will soon fail

Utah feels they should be in the B1G and their invitation is soon to arrive (according to them). They were very happy in the Pac 12 and feel like they've "lowered" themselves to join the Big 12. I love how just about everyone had them winning the Big 12 this year. So far they are 1-5 in the conference. Maybe they can join the new Pac12 or ACC whenever they can get out. As a WVU fan I'd like to see them gone and replaced with UConn. ** Edited by Millpoint at 11/11/2024, 3:26:44 PM

Someone said BYU and Utah are oil and water. Well here we go.

I think I would be OK with that swap as well. It was quite refreshing
Big12 guy • 11/11/24 03:36 PM ET
100% agree**

Utah AD fined $40K by Big 12 for his remarks **
Millpoint • 11/10/24 06:01 PM ET
He should be fined. And then his Head Coach should teach his DB not to hold
HokieToph • 11/11/24 12:32 PM ET
Utah was penalized for defensive holding on the play. Either the foul
VTHokie2000 • 11/10/24 11:08 AM ET
People are showing this video of it.
HOO86 • 11/10/24 11:23 AM ET
Yeah, that should get called all day long.**
reestuart • 11/11/24 08:59 AM ET
There are also plenty of times the officials don't call it too.**
VTHokie2000 • 11/10/24 11:26 AM ET
The call was OK, the timing of the call wasn't. The refs should not
Big12 guy • 11/10/24 11:22 AM ET
Wow. I did not stay up to watch that game, but there is a history

ACC was too asleep to grab them when they had the chance
VaTechHokiesACC • 11/11/24 01:29 AM ET
The ACC could/should have had any school in the B12. **
Big12 guy • 11/11/24 06:47 AM ET
Don't remind me **
VaTechHokiesACC • 11/11/24 11:24 PM ET
B12 officials are the highest paid...**
PBHokie • 11/10/24 03:29 PM ET
How long is the B12 GOR? I think it’s until 2031, but do I have that right?
Stech • 11/10/24 10:09 AM ET
The SEC, Big 10, and B12 all renew within a years or two from each other.
Big12 guy • 11/10/24 10:41 AM ET
SEC 2034, B1G, 2030, Big 12 2031...

Haven't heard much out of Florida State lately.
HOO86 • 11/10/24 01:56 PM ET
They should just remain silent **
VaTechHokiesACC • 11/11/24 01:30 AM ET
According to Flugaur...
33laszlo99 • 11/10/24 03:59 PM ET
Seems odd they’d have a settlement agreement w/o a conference to go to? How

No hard figures, no timetable. He identifies his sources only as people
33laszlo99 • 11/10/24 08:19 PM ET
That’s an amazing article, do you mind if I post this as an original post
Stech • 11/11/24 12:57 PM ET
You go, Stech.**
33laszlo99 • 11/11/24 03:31 PM ET
Looks like they read the book “Buy High Sell Low”**
VT ChemE 1986 • 11/10/24 09:57 PM ET
They sure are spending a lot of NIL money though. **
Big12 guy • 11/10/24 02:02 PM ET
Thanks, but is the B12 GOR scheduled to be up in 2031?**
Stech • 11/10/24 12:00 PM ET
That is when it is "reported" to end, but I haven't seen the contract. **
Big12 guy • 11/10/24 12:49 PM ET
You're assuming ESPN and Fox will want to renew the Big 12 deal**
SMU Pony • 11/10/24 10:48 AM ET
An assumption for sure. I also assume they will get more money. **
Big12 guy • 11/10/24 11:21 AM ET
What if the Big XII is asked to take a pay cut so the extra money can be
VTHokie2000 • 11/10/24 11:24 AM ET
Heck, I don't know. The P2 thing is fluid, and things could

I don't get why you would care if the Big XII champion doesn't receive 1 of

I do not see a scenario where the ACC or the B12 champ
Big12 guy • 11/10/24 12:46 PM ET
Given how the P2s are dominating this year's CFP Poll, I would expect some
