When the Mountain West TV deal was created it was a pretty good deal based on current market value. By the time BYU left it looked horrible. There is a chance that value goes up and a chance that it goes down. Conference USA just got hit with the realization that they were being paid more than they were worth and just got renewed for a much smaller amount. The next round of negotiations could be interesting. ESPN is already hurting and trying to figure out how to pay for the content they have. If they pay the major conference more than they were before then they have to take it out of somewhere else.
