agreed. when you have 30 teams and a national audience you can get away with

blackouts. even then its bad for the league in the long-run IMO.

When you have 120 teams fighting for air time and attention, airtime, and relevance a blackout is a TERRIBLE option. You might as well start handing out rival t-shirts and apparel cause thats where your up-and-coming fans will end up.

in a ute's mind, 45k is > than 58k

Boise State will be our highest attended game. Only going downhill from here.

If BYU was in the Big XII, it would be a sellout, too

to be fair you don't know if Utah would sell out a 65,000+ stadium in Provo at
