Its not really speculation. Thompson has basically said they are looking at doing that if they dont get a sizable raise from ESPN. Essentially, their schools have studied the issue and believe they are better off catering to the fans in the stadium (kick off times that maximize attendance and in stadium income) than catering to a TV deal that provides minimal income.

The Boise deal plays into this also I believe. They have to give Boise 1.5M off the top of TV rights but not cable rights. So not only do they get better start times they avoid the Boise hostage fee.

That could cause Boise to bolt.
