Not gonna happen unless the AAC can match our ESPN deal, and the AAC can't/won't
Regarding our prior talks with the Big East (football's legal predecessor to the AAC):
"BYU athletic director Tom Holmoe and coach Bronco Mendenhall were said to favor a move to the Big East, but BYU President Cecil Samuelson and the school’s general counsel weren't as receptive. That was unless the Cougars could have retained their home television rights...."

The article also quotes a source who opined that BYU's "general counsel is a piece of work.”
I laugh at that because I'm 99% sure that the BYU lawyer representing the school at these talks was Steve Sandberg, who was my La Mancha zone leader in the mid 90s, and he was "a piece of work" back then, too!
