I don’t think all the Independents will be willing to travel that far.

Is New Mexico State really going to be willing and able to travel 2,000 miles so many times a year? Is UMASS? If they drop drop out, this no longer works. I don’t believe it’s a viable option, accounting for travel and regional differences. BYU needs to find a conference to partner with.

No. Not with PAC12 and BIG10 at least. Just conference games.

If they do, it destroys any attempt at credibly doing this.

It does matter to them though. They don’t need to play non-conference games and

Last to do this would be SEC, ACC, then maybe BIG 12. There will be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth down

Even so, ESPN will reduce its payout to BYU under these circumstances

The AAC has only 11 schools and an ESPN media contract

Maybe but travel distance might deter the conference from doing that

Doesn’t that set them up nicely for a 10 game conference schedule

Traveling would be rough for some of those schools
