McMurphy: BYU and AAC previously negotiated on BYU membership
As far as BYU, the Cougars were nearly AAC members several years ago but the sides couldn’t reach an agreement.
“We were very close with BYU years before the last television deal, but they had too many demands and wanted to be treated differently on TV rights than other members,” a source said.
In other words: BYU wanted more TV revenue than the other league members.
“BYU does provide a potential late-night (TV) window and weeknight games and a (national) brand,” a source said.
But BYU might want to stay where it is: as an independent that has a television deal with ESPN that is expected to be renewed, a source said.

Here's a rumor just for the sake of starting a rumor. BYU hasn't signed a new deal with ESPN yet because of the AAC (Indy Coug, Jun 24, 2019 at 12:06pm)
