They still want to be a top 6 conference champ.

They may be frontrunner ahead of the MWC, but adding another quality program solidifies that.

That is, if BYU is interested. That isn't assured either. BYU might feel like they've got a shot at one of the 6 at large berths, if they have a great year.

THis could help increase their TV deal as well. Plus better at large shot.

It gives a chance for multiple teams to get in from any conf. Adding a good opponent increases SOS, eyeballs, resume

BYU may have an easier path to CFP as MWC champ rather than AAC champ.

No "may" about it.

BYU in the AAC doesnt make sense. Just join the MWC already.

By this argument nobody should be in the SEC. That a hard path.
