This is my thought on it. Right now I watch games outside of those that directly

effect BYU because they are part of the same system and have an effect on BYU. If they no longer effect BYU in any way, I really won't care anymore. Periodically I may watch a big matchup, but I'd guess I would watch 1 game a month or less, where I currently watch 1 or 2 a week. I don't think interest would plummet, but it definitely wouldn't be what it is today.

I wonder what % of viewers of their games are outside B10/SEC?

This is true, but there's a silver lining for the rest of the country.
