For the New Mexico fan, I'm sure the calculus is now improved.

Plus about nine. I got serious with BYU football when I went to BYU starting in '95, and have more or less lived in the region since.
In essence, this is supporting my point. For $144 per year (less, if you drop the sports pack from March-August) you get ALL MWC sports, plus countless other football games available on the DirecTV sports pack.
Throw in the fact that the NEW ESPN deal wasn't as good as the OLD ESPN deal, and like I said, we're probably better off.
