ponying up for BTN so what they brought to the table isn't there anymore. I agree, the B1G is probably stuck with them, though.

Do you see any more realignment with P5 expansion? I really don't.

I think the next round of TV contracts, or sometime after that,

I will add, with regard to Utah's stadium expansion,

Carnac

11/16/18 1:14pm

Except what would Utah show?

I think this is the next big issue. Schools wanting right's back.

One thing that is true, each school will do what is best for them

LOL, so you're saying byutv will be able to get some hi-def shots of LES

"At some point BYUtv will pay off" Meaning what?

TNT

Well, for one, they probably would get first tier rights

If nothing happens with the Big 12 before, I think 2030 or so will be a key year

From 2010-2014, the BIG12 was seen as the weakest P5 conference. Not anymore.

RE: "I think the [P5] are all quite content with their current situations" Well

Don't ignore that P12 is falling behind; Big 12 would want So Cal teams

The public Cali schools are a package deal.

So just take USC and Stanford then. No need for UCLA and Cal IMO.

I could see contraction as easily as I could see expansion

I'm not sure how satisfied the B1G is with Rutgers or Maryland, but I know most

Jesse Pinkman

Yeah, the problem is many in these parts thought the B1G could accomplish that

There won't be any movement for 4-5 years. BYU won't be going to the PAC, so

I think you're missing a few massive pieces. Football is not in for growth,

Is the stadium attendance problem more a function of the good TV access?

My opinion is that it’s due to three things:

Do you see this situation helping BYU into a P5? Or simply strengthening

That “mess of a network” is worth a billion dollars

CallingDingo

11/16/18 5:20pm

I do, but I fully expect BYU to be left out again....

Bonoman

11/16/18 7:08pm

Gonna have to see what the market looks like when the current deals expire.

Resurgens

11/16/18 7:37pm

Do you think nothing will happen when TV networks aren't making enough money

That is a good question. I know the paradigm is changing and fast...but
