[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 129514868, member: 1428007"] Can't see much value to UNLV. BYU is considered to be a candidate in some circles, but with their own network that may present problems of its own much like the LHN--how to merge that into a league wide network. On top of that you have travel issues and problems with Sunday play, and BYU previously demanded certain rights to rebroadcast games. If all those issues with BYU could be worked out they could be a candidate, but a school like UConn being a state flagship located partly in the largest media market in the world and with their own media rights agreements in NYC, plus multiple national championships in basketball (M and W) may trump what BYU could bring. Connecticut delvers well over 1 million cable subscribers in state while Utah doesn't approach that. Football BYU is usually better, but better football may be down the list of needs as compared to academics and markets (although academically BYU is good and they may have lots of potential for a network if their BYU tv could be merged). The analysts will present the comparison on all those items. [/QUOTE]
