I think this is the best paragraph summary of what's going on right now with BYU independence by Dennis Dodd of CBS sports:
"Right now, no one has full leverage. BYU can't find enough games, improved access or more television money at the moment. The MWC doesn't want to lose BYU because it might lose The Mtn. Thompson wouldn't confirm there is language in the contract that allows The Mtn. to dissolve if Utah and/or BYU leave. That, however, is the assumption.
We are in Day 5 of a strange standoff."
