The invitation into the Pac-10, or what is now the Pac-12, is the House that Kyle Whittingham built. Not to discount Urban Meyer's leading an undefeated team in 2004, nor the lingering benefit of the Rick Majerus years, nor is ito say a great academic program wasn't helpful.
But, the 2008 University of Utah football team's undefeated season and crushing defeat of Alabama came just before the Pac-10 folks were looking for an additional member. It is this, more than anything, that squeezed Utah through the door and into the Pac-10.
