Tom Holmoe has repeatedly said that B12 negotiations never got around to TV.

Yes, the urban legend is that we didn't get into the B12 because problems with BYUtv, but Tom Holmoe has said over and over again until he is blue in the face that things never got that far.

But the legend is firmly in place and nothing can shake people's faith in it.

What would be a BYU coach's motive in saying something like this if he felt it

Do you know who was in charge of the negotiation and acted as general counsel?

Not surprising that they were upset with our legal counsel.
