Gunther has been adamant recently that BYU demanded third tier TV rights
If you've listened to Gunther in the afternoon recently (which I normally enjoy despite Gunther's habit for over talking yewtah sports and randomly yelling) they've talked about why BYU didn't get in the Big XII the first time. Gunther stated multiple times like it was fact that BYU was unreasonable and demanded rebroadcasting rights to home games, and rights for BYUtv.
Here's Monty's tweets about discussions between the Big XII and BYU:
#BYU made NO demands on anything. Neinas said the process did not work that way a committee met with officials from the schools targeted ...
This puts to rest everyone's argument that Sunday play and BYUtv were HUGE obstacles to BYU getting in the Big XII. Now stop blurting out expansion crap like you know what you're talking about Gunther!
