Would the addition of 4 western schools (BYU, AFA, Boise, SDSU) dramatically improve the tv value of this conference?

They already tried the western expansion. TCU, Boise, SDSU all agreed to join the Big East and it didn't work out for whatever reason. What would be the difference now?

BYU isn't moving anywhere unless it's the Big-XII or Pac-12. Boise, AFA, and SDSU all have a good thing going in the MWC and arguably the same could be said about them as it is about BYU.

Sdsu would jump in a New York minute. Boise I think is starting to regret their power play move on a slowly dying mwc and would love a second chance to join the AAC. BYU is the hold up to possible creating the last power conference. However there's been a lot of debate on their board about giving up their unsustainable Indy status as they watch their standing in the fbs slide. The hold up I think is their inability to come to grips that the rest of the world doesn't/never considered them like Notre Dame lite
