get into the church to see games after I got caught with a purloined key. I kept the big dish even after getting the (then new) small dish.
I found some way to watch games all the way up until The Mountain. My understanding is that BYU had a gentleman's agreement that they could rebroadcast on BYUtv that was never honored. It was the beginning of the end for BYU and the MWC.
My father who is native to Connecticut was visiting there in the 80's and went to the church to watch a game on the church satellite. Who was there, but Steve Young's dad - watching the game.
