We'll have to disagree on that one. We'd be back in the MWC

If the MWC had those schools, I would welcome the MWC

8/21/11 10:46pm

Never in WCC will we get a 5 seed. Never

Right. A 32-0 BYU team gets a 6 seed.

BYU71
8/21/11 10:29pm
The ESPN bit is a big deal
m4t4d0r
8/21/11 10:31pm
espn could still get all the BYU games they want
Xamius
8/21/11 10:32pm
not under the current contract with Fox
m4t4d0r
8/21/11 10:34pm
doesnt espn get first pick?
Xamius
8/21/11 10:35pm
letting Fox have any games (even 2nd tier)
m4t4d0r
8/21/11 10:40pm
but they could still have as many BYU games
The Shazad
8/21/11 10:41pm
Um since they have 1st tier, they can pick, right?
Xamius
8/21/11 10:42pm
Then why didn't they buy the second tier rights too?
ALRMCoug
8/21/11 10:49pm
The current Big12 arrangement with Fox does not contemplate
m4t4d0r
8/21/11 11:03pm
You're changing the subject
ALRMCoug
8/21/11 11:04pm
?? 2nd tier is pretty easy to understand...
m4t4d0r
8/21/11 11:08pm
You aren't making any sense
ALRMCoug
8/21/11 11:10pm
Bottom line is whether BYU is willing to currently trade...
BaYoU

The Shazad
