Turnpike Lane Monday Morning Quarterback
The issue then and now is all about $$$$. Expanding didn't guarantee them more. Moving to the SEC will.
IF anything, what that dog and pony showed Texas and OU is that teams like BYU are worth far more to a media deal than many of their own existing conference members. And they are stuck with that baggage dragging deals down So here we re. They want to get free from the dead weight and make more $$$, and the only way to do that is to join the SEC or B10. I bet they shopped themselves to both, and SEC won. Bigger $$$.

Expanding would not have saved this, but would have saved the league perception-wise from this a little.
