In case you missed it, the Big 12 announced on Tuesday afternoon that they have unanimously agreed to explore conference expansion. What does that mean? It means the Big 12 will begin vetting universities they think my be a good fit as additions to the conference. One of the schools whose name is rumored to be in contention is BYU. For our rival school down south, this is exciting news. Since BYU made the decision to go independent, they have been looking for a Power 5 conference to take them in. This news of possible Big 12 expansion ignites hope in our rivals that they too could join a P5 conference and be on equal footing with Utah moving forward.
Would Two Power 5 Teams in the State Be Good for the Utes?
