Only hope for BYU to get a seat at the table at this point.

BYU has been sitting at that table all by themselves for a few years now...

Patiently waiting for the 2024/25 shakeup.

Let's hope that BYU football is good again by then

Not sure there are 40 teams...I'm sure I missed some with large fan bases,

We need BamaCoug to run the numbers. See if we make the cut on top 40 🙂

If you are going to make a list like this, UGA sould be on it

ASU? LOL!!!

only because of the TV market size, but the NFL now rules AZ like it does CO

The article says TV Market will not matter as much

Stanford > ASU

They don't have a fan base

Nat Gas Man

Defined as what? What matters is how many eyeballs will teams draw. Stanford

Take this prediction with a grain of salt, based on a casual, 2016 dinner conversation with a guy at Amazon

I've thought for a long time that the BYU administrators know more than we do

TV money wasn't efficiently reaching it's targeted revenue producers, so it's just a matter of time
