UNHuskerCoug Walk-on

have more to do with the fact that there are no geographical ties and travel costs would kill BYU athletics for all Olympic sports.

Enough already! Many here think that the AAC wouldn't even want/take BYU? Huh?

Let's just go to the AAC in all sports. Independence is the worst.

Sounds great. Do you have $20mm for cancellation fees?

mulletino

3/14/18 6:10am

Are you talking for football? All of our game contracts have a free out.

...if we join a P5 conference.

mulletino

3/14/18 6:15am

Have you seen the actual contact wording, or just going by the CB rumor mill?

Left Shark Coug

3/14/18 7:27am

Yes, I've seen many of them. It's very specific.

mulletino

3/14/18 7:30am

BYU sure signs a lot of dumb contracts.

Left Shark Coug

3/14/18 7:38am

Why would their opponents agree to just let them out of major 7 figure contracts for any dumb reason?

mulletino

3/14/18 7:40am

I don't know, you tell me. That wasn't my argument.

A H/N with Mizzu is a great contract for BYU.

mulletino

3/14/18 7:56am

And makes dumb handshake agreements (MWC)

Here is one example. See section 3Bii:

mulletino

3/14/18 7:37am

If I read that language, it basically would not give BYU an out...

Greg Kite's 'stache

3/14/18 7:49am

Yep. The only out BYU wanted was for P5 or some future P5 scraps conference.

mulletino

3/14/18 7:54am

Schools back out of these schedules all the time, or they reschedule. It’s a red herring

Things get worked out

For football, staying in the MWC would've been far worse than independence.

Isn’t indy $10m+ per year better than g5???

Enough already! BYU wants independence over the AAC because it doesn't want

I agree that BYU's first desire would not be/has not been to go to the AAC...

Boise had more games on ESPN channels the past 4 years than BYU.

displacedute

3/14/18 6:22am

Boise had more than 32 ESPN games from 2014-2017? Poor us.

mulletino

3/14/18 6:27am

Here's the 2013-15 data. BYU had more despite Boise getting an extra game via...

BamaCoug

3/14/18 6:31am

BYU has one more game than Boise in 13-15? That’s not significant.

SJS

3/14/18 8:06am

Was this before or after we got engaged?

Coug

3/14/18 8:31am

Not sure, but the data is cherry picked for sure. Ignores the uninspiring 2016 and disastrous 2017 seasons

SJS

3/14/18 8:33am

It’s not purposely cherry-picked, it’s just the data I compiled during the Big12

BamaCoug

3/14/18 10:03am

We've had 2 seasons since then...

Coug

3/14/18 10:09am

You should include all relevant data, especially given your proclivity for stats

SJS

3/14/18 10:40am

Here's the last 4 years

displacedute

3/14/18 8:35am

Did you forget to include ABC? And, what about BYU's games on FOX and FS1?

boscatar

3/14/18 11:25am

ABC is included.

displacedute

3/14/18 11:44am

FS1 reports TV ratings and can deliver 1M+ viewers; CBSSN doesn't and can't

boscatar

3/14/18 12:03pm

I did not count FS1 as being the same as ESPN.

displacedute

3/14/18 12:14pm

I'm not concerned about the broadcast count. FS1 has potential.

boscatar

3/14/18 12:39pm

I understand. I just didn't include FS1 because I consider them like CBS sports

displacedute

3/14/18 12:44pm

Great. Now do you know what the presidents (the ones who actually matter) think

coolblue

3/14/18 7:28am

Since the AAC fanbases are smaller than the Big XII, I think there would be less

mannheimadler

3/14/18 9:11am

Quick question: who was saying AAC wouldn’t want BYU? Besides TNT and a few trolls?

SJS

3/14/18 7:47am

They play a lot on Sunday

Croweater

3/14/18 7:52am

Which does not mean that they would schedule BYU to play on Sunday

SJS

Wow I like Mike Aresco
