Where do Herbstreit and Desmond think "these kids" got the idea of "Championship or nothing"?

Pac-12 team wants to schedule a potential last-minute game with no payout, at home, on the conference's TV package, and keep the option to cancel 48 hours in advance. But BYU is the one who is "resisting." OK.
