Let's not forget what happened to the WAC when it decided 16 was a good number.

Not being a BYU homer but the price tag ESPN is paying for each BYU game has shown they are worth it.

BYU travels very well, has an amazing national fan base and brings a solid relationship with ESPN into the picture. Historically BYU has done well and has a great tradition.

As for the WAC and 16, I shudder at that debacle.
