Positive Influence of ESPN televised BYU games

Landing the last two recruits (Kurtz and Dal...nice ring to it) over the weekend has apparently been attributed to a number of factors. The most obvious one being the TV contract with ESPN and the exposure it brings BYU. According to Bronco, BYU is the eighth most viewed team in the country (national audience - 100+million homes; excluding BYUTV). It explains why the 2014 recruits took an interest in BYU via this modem and why they are coming into the school from around the country (our geographic footprint is quite large).
