Does ESPN renew their contract with BYU after 2018?

Maybe the better question... If they don't renew, does BYU stay an independent?

BYU cannot survive as an independent without ESPN.

which is why espn can pay BYU peanuts at renewal.

ESPN paid BYU peanuts upon initiation of the contract.

Not technically true - BYU doesn't need ESPN, but it does need TV money

Even if BYU isn't winning or having big years they are a perfect fit for ESPN

It's all about ratings, not winning.
