Regarding point 2:
I've gone through every game for the last 4 years on sportsmediawatch. BYU has had 38M viewers over those 4 years, UCF has had 58M, Memphis has had 45M, Cincy has had 42M. And most of that is by BYU racking up lots of low viewership appearances.

If you only look at the top, marquee games, the discrepancy grows even more. BYU's top 12 games over the past 4 years average 1.87M viewers. For UCF that number is 3.58M, Memphis gets 2.96M, Cincy gets 2.88M and Houston even gets 1.89M.

Regarding point 3:
As for payment, we all know that the AAC just signed a deal with ESPN for $7M/team/year. BYU's financials show a sporting revenue of $72M in 2019, with 6% of that coming from broadcast deals. That's $4.32M, which is in line with the reported ~$1M/game contract. In 2019, ESPN got BYU games against Utah, Washington, Boise State, Liberty and Idaho St.

Regarding point 5:
This is admittedly more of an opinion. I do think it's inarguable that we at least would be positioned no worse than our primary competition though (since they're all in the AAC)
