Utes thrilled over 'new opportunity' with Big 12 move
On Friday, the University of Utah officially announced it would be heading to the Big 12 Conference next year, leaving behind a 12-year relationship with the Pac-12.
A much lower-than-expected streaming-centric television contract proposal from Pac-12 officials compared to the payouts from other conferences was the push the schools needed to look elsewhere. Harlan didn't deny there are moments of disappointment about leaving the Pac-12 after so many years of success.
"Media is part of it, but so is building an incredible, an incredible league that wants to stay together," he explained."When you think about this from a university president's perspective, you're looking broader than just the dollars and cents. You got to keep an athletic program healthy, so it's got to meet some minimum viability, for sure.
