Does ESPN set up a conference call with PAC 12 conference officials and ADs and say "we pay you, and we pay BYU. We would like to see more regional games that include BYU and PAC 12 South. We need more out of our lineup than BYU-UNLV and BYU-Fresno St."

There must be some influence to pull this schedule together, right? Or is it simply Tom Holmoe calling old PAC 12 friends? How does it work?
