Although if the P12 jettisoned CU and UU, that would work out just fine. I doubt the B12 would pick either up...

this is what i mean by how stupid b12 homers are

Why is this stupid? Is it because you think they should follow along with what every other conference is doing? Would you jump off a cliff because all your friends are doing it? That's what it sounds like to me...

You're like a Lemming in that respect...

the b12 would pick both schools up in a heartbeat. it just goes to show that you guys have yet to fully understand just how bad you lost out in conference realignment.

Oh really? So what makes you such an expert on the B12? Do you know a bunch of folks in charge of the decision?

cuz only a fool thinks they wouldnt take colorado back.

they would do it in a heartbeat

It could also be that you're foolish for thinking the B12 wants to cover 3 different time zones, with conference members being 2000 miles apart...

There are 2 ways to look at things, and you only look at one side of every coin...

Colorado and California. Legal Mary Jane. Coincidence ?

since when have time zones ever been an issue. the distance between BC-miami lincoln-happy valley & sc-aggie is comparable.

travel time is by far one of the least important concerns unless you have a case like wvu which is a total outlier

Something in the Air out West ! LOL!

Yeah, right...

BTW, WVU and Utah are 900 miles farther apart than Penn State and Nebraska. So your analogy sucks...

Also, 900 miles is nearly 2/3 of the distance from Miami to Boston, and that's just the difference in travel distance between WVU-Utah and PSU-NU, and not the entire distance...

WVU to BYU is more than 400 miles farther than BC to Miami.

utah is more of a ???

but they would take CU in a heartbeat.

the pros of utah is that theres no other school besides cincy thats worth taking

Colorado's Athletic Dept. is broke, and their teams suck. What's so great about them?

a large market outside of texas
geography
rivalries with b12 members
academics
basketball

some fans are quite literally idiots. they dont understand that theres a lot more to the picture than just football.

the b12 went after football only schools and got burned badly for it. why? because football cycles and teams like tcu & wvu wont be contenders year in year out. thats why its important to add schools who can bring something else to the table besides football.

if you really wanna judge a move by a few seasons then you dont deserve to be commenting on this stuff. because these moves factor in whats the best option for the next 50 years

I disagree with you about the Buffs. Had they stayed in the B12, it would be no problem. But they didn't want to be in the B12, so who needs 'em. CU needs a power conference more than a power conference needs Colorado...

at this point the b12 needs 2 strong schools a lot me than those strong schools need the b12.

cu has very solid market + enough FB history & good academics to get into any conference they wanted to if geography wasnt a factor.

bash mizz/aggie/cu all you want cuz of athletics. but those 3 schools build the foundation of a strong conference.

and thats a pretty big reason for why other schools wanted them over the BCS winning teams like wvu & tcu
