"If Utah State can't get a new conference assembled, I suggest their next best option would be to follow BYU into football independence and align in other sports with the WCC".
No way in heck and high water will anyone watch Utah State on TV and no way that ESPN would even show them on TV as the main team, maybe playing BYU and that is about as far as it goes.
