I checked his account, and it all looks like unbiased objective statements to me.

Eventually all of this greed will decimate the national fanbase.  The more exclusive they make the national championship process, the less fans they will have.  I am a USF fan, and I'm not going to pi

Everyone involved in managing our pathetic program over the past 10 years should be fired out of a cannon into the bay.

BYU would be good for numbers for ANY conference they join. Like ND, they bring not just a nationwide audience, but a world-wide one.

 

You think Mormons in Italy really care about a BYU vs. Oklahoma football game?

 

I agree about the nationwide audience, but let's not get carried away here.  I think the no-play on Sundays is what has held them up from joining any new conference.

 

 

The AFC or the NFC?

Everyone ignores the biggest thing that Boise and BYU bring to the table ... and that is a willingness to accept a football only membership (BYU basically has that as an independent in football and Boise said yes to the Big East, so clearly it would say yes to the Big 12)

 

I am not saying this will happen, but if the Big 12 members don't want 2 full members or bad travel for their volleyball teams, but want a football championship game ... then Boise and BYU might get the call.

MIke it is not about quality competition. Dodds has made it clear that they are not going to add just to add unless it brings the same or more revenue. BYU may do some of that but Boise does not.

Well, here is an example. Boise and BYU agree to Football only membership and agree to take $7.5 million per year for each school. The championship game adds $25 million to the league.

 

Then everyone gets an extra million dollars.

Everyone keeps saying some school will move to the Big 12 and take less money than other schools.  That is what almost caused the demise of the Big 12 in the first place.  That can only work for limited time scenarios, it isn't a long term solution.

Actually, yes.

 

But in the grand scheme, it's a rather small number of viewers. Not because it's BYU, but because it's an American sport.

 

Soccer on the other hand...

So you think the Big 12 should add BYU and sign a worldwide TV deal for Big 12 soccer rights?
