    No they wouldn't. They are about to cash in with the new BE media deal.

      When is that deal done?

      I am interested to see how much they'll be making.

        They have moved the bidding to the open market after the exclusive negotiating window with ESPN expired. I do not know what sort of timeline they are looking at.

          I will be surprised if they get more than 4 million a year for football only squads.

            I thought they extended the window of negotiation with ESPN?

              That's more than 4x what they MWC all-sports teams get!

                I still don't see us joining that group.

                At this point I'm resigned to hoping KSU finishes undefeated and gets jumped by the Irish so the B12 expands.

                A pipe dream, I know.

                        I would hand you a tissue on that day and provide you a shoulder to cry on, but where is your comfort for me as I die inside a little bit every week that we play as an independent sliding into complete and utter irrelevance?

                          Big East now is included with an automatic BCS berth (if their champ is highest ranked of MAC, SunBelt, MWC, CUSA). BYU and ND do not have automatic berths unless they are ranked top 5.
                          ND has access to the orange bowl.


                          The six games will include three "contract bowls" and three "host bowls." The spots in the contract bowls are reserved for teams that have deals with those bowls.

                          The contract bowls are: Rose (Pac-12 vs. Big Ten); Sugar (SEC vs. Big 12) and Orange (ACC vs. Big Ten, SEC or Notre Dame).

                            Yes, the BCS agreement allows for bowls to make agreements with schools, but the BCS 2.0 doesn't have an auto-qualifier like the previous version. It's a pretty minor distinction, I agree. Of course, no large bowl wants a similar agreement with BYU, so the point is kind of moot.

                              Independence isn't ideal. For that, I am with you. It's better than the alternatives.
