This is the correct answer. No matter who ESPN adds, it it going to cost them
more money. They will not save money no matter who is added.

Yes, they will spend more money on BYU if they're in the Big12

The only remaining Q is how much is ESPN already paying Cincy?

We are also leaving out that BYU not getting in keeps BYU games on ESPN screens

More of a compelling side aspect to ESPN's consideration here than others have

It might cost ESPN less than adding a different team, though.

I don't think anyone is saying that. They are saying adding BYU will cost them

Kind of disappointing that some find it necessary to respond like a child

BYU having that contract is a direct assessment of their value to ESPN
