An average college basketball player saying making a career out of basketball is sustainable only IF he made it to the NBA. Subtle difference, but still a difference. A player saying this would be 100% correct.

Right decision, but unsustainable

I think it probably IS sustainable.

So you disagree with Bronco when he said indy wasn't viable long term?

Zak

It is sustainable if we WIN, and win often

If our two options are MWC or unsustainable Indy, why would BYU not ask 4 more $

Bgash

BYU can ask for whatever it wants

shakarocks

FOX, CBS, and NBC will bid - depends on B1G contract

What happens if BYU struggles?

BYU has a high floor in terms of viewership (especially at 7-5)

They are cost cutting. Not turning down opportunities. BYU is an opportunity.

Look at the stands becoming more empty. BYU has to become relevant or ....

I'd be happy to take my chances in an instable B12. At worst, B12 blows up
