And yes, I realize that there are several football teams in that conference that are currently better than BYU. But look at the history, look at the actual attendance numbers, viewership numbers, facilities, etc. (chose any metric you want to use), and BYU would easily be the strongest program in that conference. So sure, they'd love to have us, and they'd love for us to consider them as equals. It would mean more money for them, and less for us.

And as for how ESPN is treating us, you must really dislike how the AAC is treated. Not sure how joining a group of schools who are paid much less by ESPN and put on national TV much less frequently would help BYU's cause at all.

Something tells me perhaps you're not being serious about this issue. Which is fine. I have no problem with having some fun with all of this.
