Personally, I would rather have my university shutter all sports and focus on R&D and micro enterprise incubators than get into this net sum zero arms race.
It’s like no one watched the movie War Games. What these TV networks are doing is nothing short of a game of global thermonuclear war.
And where is the NCAA? The next step will be the shuttering of their organization if they don’t step up with something of a plan.
Been there myself increasingly over the last few years. As college football has increasingly moved into an official NFL B league and TV product, the money has damaged the sport and worse, undermined the academic focus and affordability of most universities. I read a few years ago how few football programs were profit centers for schools vs the large majority where they are a hyped expense that gets passed in to students already buried in debt. I like Triple A ball and don’t associate it with the U…perhaps it’s time to do the same with football.

Remember, the Righteouslature cannot write a binding law on BYU requiring them to play Utah. This question was asked ten years ago, and OLRGC determined the law was likely unconstitutional if passed. It is why they dropped it.
Generally the two universities have desired to maintain some amount of regular scheduling, if for no other reason than to reduce operating costs. Only if they became conference opponents again would the pressures be amped up to make the games an annual event.
The scheduling with gaps has been nice.
TBH I have been less than impressed with Leg Research’s ability to conduct legal research. Also, the recent SCOTUS case casts doubt.

Not sure that the OLRGC would reach a similar conclusion under the current SCOTUS.
