It probably won’t be anything near what they are demanding but it will be better than the nothing they would get if the conference dissolved.

If that is true, does BYU leave the confines of ESPN with its national audience

What is regional about Fox?

I'll admit, I don't pay much attention to Fox (I mostly stream nowadays)

Sold all of them. Some ended up in the hands of ATT, others are now called Bally

Fox, FS1, and FS2 are national, but yes, I am sure that this is the question facing BYU

If being judged by his body of work, and not just his actions/inactions that impacted BYU, I can see Thamel's point.

Super annoying ESPN has been behind all of this. But this part is very encouragi

That sounds logical, but... the Big12 isn't logical.

If the B12 gets Fox's support, adding BYU lifts their brand, and hurts ESPN

Not having ESPN on your side is a recipe for disaster in relation to college

Ummm... SEC has been with CBS for a long time and isn't suffering

There will likely be some type of settlement here
