to a NY^ game, because we've never put ourselves in contention for one. We don't know if we have access or not. We know the best we can do in the MWC is a NY6 bowl and our program is nowhere near competing for that right now.
Our TV money is not pennies different. That is blatantly false. Our TV money is estimated at $4.8-$6, but again that is based on us being good enough to be on TV.
In the MWC, teams earn $1.1 per year except for BSU who earns $2.9. $4.8-$6 is not pennies more than even BSU's deal.
Your problem is you want to judge Indy based on 1 bad season. Hate to break the news to you, but we wouldn't have been bowl eligible as a member of the MWC last year either.
BYU's problem is not Indy. It's poor coaching, unlucky injuries and top recruits not panning out (Heaps, Mangum) That doesn't magically change in the MWC
