Seems like a poor way to join a league. Can we send them to the MWC

I mentioned this in the never ending thread. This guy is a jackass. His school hasn’t won squat and he’s acting like Greg Byrne.

Leave that pretentiousness in the PAC

Says he wants to do business with Texas schools, Colorado, Utah and BYU.
I understand everybody wants to do business with us but hes gotta respect our conference mates.

But he’s all about those frequent flyer miles if that plane is going to Maryland or New Jersey…
Should have let ASU twist in the wind

If Yormark is smart he’d have ASU traveling to Morgantown in their first conference game next year. In fact, I’ll be disappointed if it doesn’t happen.

The ASU Pres and AD are always trying to sound important and smart. They want people to think they are in complete control of things. In reality, they should be named Eyeroll and Facepalm

ASU and Utah cant seem to give away enough bulletin board material for the other teams. Ive felt PAC football has been soft for years. I think theyve got a real wake up call coming their way.
But then… I’d have thought the demise of the PAC altogether would have been a wake up call, but doesnt seem to have straightened these guys out yet.

I would definitely use this as a recruiting tool for Utah and Arizona. Show recruits that this guy doesn’t support your efforts and won’t go the extra mile to support you no matter where you play.
It’s also D&I 101. He said he’ll send his deputy AD to Morgantown as if he’s too important and he has minions to travel to towns beneath his status. Unfortunately, Crow won’t fire Anderson because he’s just as incompetent.

Really poor comments for an AD to make. Really shows his immaturity and lack of social intelligence. Now ASU has big target on their back. Welcome to the Big 12!

The thing is we need ASU to thrive and be competitive. As much as love these two asshats running the show in Phoenix and burying their programs, we need a Prez and AD that can turn athletics around and get back to Jake Plummer level of success.
on his first day in the conference, I believe he owes a public apology to the people of West Virginia, and to the administration of West Virginia.

I am actually fine with the opposite - with this expansion - no one can deny the big 12 has quality, quantity ‘p4’ worthy teams… given that - i am fine if we have a 2-3 teams that struggle and are the bottom feeder losers - as long as that is not us.

I think it’s a big to do about nothing . I don’t think it’s personal Agatha people of West Virginia or the University . I think it’s more about long travel and the logistics of getting into morganstown. Along with that the chance of the weather being nasty . So he said he was going to assign that trip to whom I presume would be his assistant.

You can criticize the product on the field. Lack of fan support in the stands
But, yeah youve seen some of these Pac 12 people complain about Big 12 cities. Manhattan, KS, Ames, IA, etc.
Its elitist. Yormark needs to have a nice conversation with the newcomers. Tell em to zip it. Or they’re gonna make enemies quick

Morgantown should just spray paint a pitchfork on every couch before it is set on fire.
