13 weeks of college football. It's also unlikely that BYU would play all 6 home games late at night, so ESPN could really use a couple more teams out west.

BYU needs a Big12 "travel partner" in the west

Travel partners are something of days gone by.

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

Yeah, because conference leadership has repeatedly said....

Has conference leadership not repeatedly said they want to expand west? 😂

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

thewaterboy

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

Fair enough. Hopefully not too many teams, though…

Refugee

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
