To address your other points:
"more respect nationally"
- BYU can play the exact same number of big games with a MWC schedule as they have set up as Indy. You already know this.
"More games on Tv"
- The Molehill is dead. It isn't 2009 anymore. National viewership is not a problem for the MWC or BYU anymore.
"Regular season schedules getting better"
- Are you watching today's game? Have you seen next years home slate? How are these things an improvement?
