One or both of the Arizona schools and MAYBE Colorado if ESPN and Fox are willing to pay extra for them.

I consider Stanford no worse than Colorado, but I'd doubt they'd be interested.

Don’t care about “travel” partners. Don’t want BYU alone on western island.

Why? Will they magically be better with AZ or Colorado?

Would it be worse? Again, conference leadership disagrees with you,

They disagree with me?

Since you know better you should reach out to BY immediately

Add the two Arizona schools to get to 14 and be done with it.

They need more teams to fill the late night slot

B10 has 2 - UCLA and USC for the late night slight. B12 should get 1 more.

Probably going to need 2 more for ESPN

I should add that FOX will have UCLA, USC, & the MWC to fill late slot. ESPN

My concern is that if more fill the night spot, BYU may be more often relegated

I don't disagree, but BYU only has 6 home games per year. That's not enough for

Fair enough. Hopefully not too many teams, though…

Three teams are needed at the minimum to fill the slot, but four works better.

I believe the MWCs current contract is only with FOX and CBS

You are right I looked it up. Payout also sucks big time. No wonder SDSU is so i

My main reason for liking Colorado is BYU FB & BB games 90 minutes away
