What are the chances this station ever finds distribution outside of the conference footprint?

why don't you start "within the conference footprint" first.

Ever, yes (if it stays in business long enough). But I'm not counting on it this year.

I would think that within a few years there will be enough bandwidth that all sorts of boutique channels can exist.

It's not about bandwidth for the satellites. It's about the cost.

Texas shouldn't really be considered in the conference footprint since barely anyone in Dallas/Ft Worth cares about the local team.

What about coverage for someone who lives with 5 miles of LES in a subdivision Comcast doesn't cover?????? That wouldn't be too bad either.

Does anyone in CA care about SDSU?

Does anyone in any of the states care about MWC teams outside of Utah?

Wyoming and New Mexico, but their fan bases are pretty small. Outside of Utah the number of households who would determine their satellite/cable provider based on whether the mtn is availalable is probably less than 100,000.
