  I am happy that we landed on our feet from the imploding PAC 12, but I had to chuckle when I realized we have effectively come full circle. The Big 12 is very much like the old WAC, with Utah, BYU, ASU, Zona, and a bunch of Texas schools.

    We are also back on the 2nd tier of media payouts and competitiveness…back to the outside looking in.

      So you want to be back in the MWC. Got it.
      
      GTFO. SEC/B10 were never coming for Utah lol. SLC market is way too small for them and Utah’s fanbase way too fairweather.

  I also look at how essentially the Big12 is full of all the original BCS busters / G5 powerhouses (Utah, TCU, USF, and Cincinnati). After we each had finally found acceptance in power conferences, it feels like all the blue blood programs have ditched us leaving us in a conference that represents the best of the rest. That said, I think Utah (and many of these other schools) play best when we play with a chip on our shoulder, and I hope we can continue our old ways of embarrassing some of the biggest schools on the biggest stage possible. While losing the PAC sucks, I hope the Big12 beats the Big10 and SEC at every chance it gets.
