Remember that they are a church school and won’t compromise core beliefs (not playing on Sundays, etc.), also, football is not a main priority for them; which is why they went independent (national championships are nice but not critical). With that being said, their fan base is so large that BYUTV supplies enough money that they don’t NEED a conference; the B12 needs them more than they need the B12. So if that is the case, wouldn’t you be picky too? Why would the BIG12 commit the same mistake again with BYU regarding television rights? This is a short term fix and not a very will thought out one. It will come back to bite them in the ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to bend over to meet their criteria. Yes, they have $ and a following but they will alienate many in time. 43 minutes ago, BULL2001 said: Why would the BIG12 commit the same mistake again with BYU regarding television rights?

I always get the same about Notre Dame, not worth the headache. You can’t give special treatment to anybody, it creates a division right off the start; and I’m saying this as someone supports BYU, they’re my #2.

Build it out aluminum, hemp, plastic, whatever. Just get it on campus so everyone can actually go to USF for the games. Yes a packed smaller stadium is far superior to a cavernous red pirate thing. We need the marquee games to fill that up. Could always do a neutral site game for those... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could see attendance dropping before COVID (due to in home entertainment quality and costs), I don’t think we’ll ever see the attendance numbers of the past. 35-40k would be a good sweet spot.

How crucial... 'Don't sleep on USF' Some signs really point towards us being considered but needing to meet some more criteria for them. 2023 might be a real possible thing. Just take a second and imagine the meltdown in Orlando if we end up with better facilities than them, and get back on the same level just a couple years after they left.
