Odds on BYU going Indy in the next 5 years?
I'd put it at at least 75 to 1.
I don't know why this gets so much discussion. I dig the Mountain West.

As one of the rare few...

I don't buy Cougar fan's frustration with our lack of national exposure, hurting recruiting, blah, blah, blah. Yes it sucks, that you can't see half the games, when you otherwise could have by purchasing Game Plan, but we've got as much national exposure now as we ever had for your casual channel flipper. Again, we'll be on national TV 6 times this year. And without ESPN full court, BYU basketball had 2-3 national broadcasts a year. We'll have about that many this year, plus a whole lot more if the deal ever gets done. The TV deal may be hurting your fandom, but it's not hurting recruiting. That argument is BS. If, and it's a big if, we can get the mtn. on satellite, it will be WAY better than what we used to have. I'm loving it right now, recognizing a huge chunk of MWC fans are getting the shaft.

Again, I call BS

I'm not going to do the research, especially since I assume you're exagerrating. Obviously ESPN has higher viewership than VS, but VS is in a LOT of homes, as is CSTV. Is exposure more limited, certainly, but it's not as limited as you crybabies would suggest. I understand your desire for the CSTV/mtn/VS experiment to fail, so you can get your ESPN Game Plan back, but successful implementation would be a lot better than failure. Obviously, like you, I have my doubts, but that's what I hope for.

It's not like I want all BYU games to be on ESPN gameplan. What I miss is having some of BYU games being key games on the calendar (Thurs night), or Sat. regional ABC games. And then the rest of the games are on gameplan. |

The Big East Thurs. night game had a rating 13x bigger than the BYU-UCLA versus game on a Sat. I guess I am the only one here who can actually google.
