ESPN did more than give a paycheck to BYU. They help w/ the schedule & bowls. We complained about them but who
else was willing to help & had the cache to get those things? Not easy to go Indy and ESPN was a big reason BYU could pull it off as well as they did.

That's not necessarily true. BYU wanted ESPN, even if it was for less.

How do they look at BYU and say, "Yeah, you don't deserve a seat at the table.”

Generally speaking, it seems teams are worth far more in a P5 than on their own.
