Not pissing of the WCC (Commissioner of WCC knew this might happen and stated as much and their would be no blocking on their end)
The rumor mill also states one thing that is helpful for all schools involved is bringing in the existing BYU deal with ESPN and spreading that wealth to the conference members which is currently being negotiated as well.
Now I won't jump up and down and cheer...or anything else...I want this to happen just for the trek to the cartman house and Salt Lick BBQ when we play in Austin..

I never understood why Sunday play was an issue; my guess is that's the other sports, right? Not so much the football program as the other sports which could, conceivably, get scheduled on a Sunday.
