I think ESPN keeps BYU only because they need to fill time slots.....

not "Prime Time Slots." So even with our TV deal we are second or third tier depending on the week of the season. I will be surprised if any of their remaining games get picked up on their main channels. ESPN3 is the most likely scenario.

It is insanity to say BYU should go back to the MWC as long as they have a TV

Can't blame them for that. They gave BYU a shot to make some noise this year.

ESPN3 only is not even an option under the current contract

ESPN has maxed out the number of games every year so far under the contract.

The MW has a pretty good TV deal now.

There is a MASSIVE difference between BYU's ESPN deal and the MWC's deal.
