It's in ESPN's best interest to have a team willing to play to play

I don't know why ESPN would willingly allow a force majeure clause and not earn that revenue unless their back was totally against the wall. With greatly reduced schedules I'd think it would be in ESPN's best interest to get some teams out on the field.

Exactly. I think worst case we'll be joining the MWC or AAC for one year.

Pretty much every CFB TV contract is getting blown up for 2020.

Please let it be the AAC if we have to join a G5 Conference.

Why can't BYU play ACC with the addition of ND?

What does the ACC gain from this?

Football on tv will get a lot of viewers this year. I would imagine they will

Being an independent actually helps BYU

I want to believe this but if it's conference only play teams won't play us.

Some ADs will want as much revenue as possible

What revenue? There will likely be very little attendance. Few concessions.

We will see if tv revenue is higher. I am not sure the most contracts

Maybe. But, baseball doesn't have the same 'importance' as football.
