Basically, that means that out of the 16 conference games televised on ESPN/2/U, 14 of them feature either Gonzaga or BYU. From that alone it seems obvious which programs ESPN sees as the revenue generators in the conference.

Just like I predicted. Gonzaga at BYU in prime time on ESPN2

BlueK

9/2/14 11:04am

Gonzaga sure does get the easy part of scheduling in the WCC

WJCougar

9/2/14 11:04am

it still doesn't mean Gonz will have an easy game in Provo

BlueK

9/2/14 11:05am

It's easier when your most rabid fans are not there to cheer you on.

WJCougar

9/2/14 11:06am

Lots of them will still be there

BlueK

9/2/14 11:08am

cougarmanguy

9/2/14 11:05am

And all the Home games not on ESPNX will be on BYUtv, correct?

lbmango

9/2/14 11:15am

Correct. And road games not on ESPNx will likely be on thew.tv

Y Mountain

9/2/14 11:17am

Which will probably be only 2-3 games. I don't know why people

Gentleman Stan

9/2/14 11:29am

We did have better coverage when BYUTV did all the away games as well

concolor couguar

Gentleman Stan

9/2/14 12:19pm

They did broadcast the games not picked up by national partners

concolor couguar

9/2/14 12:44pm

Games that potentially will not be broadcast on TV for the majority of BYU fans

concolor couguar

9/2/14 1:11pm

Gentleman Stan

9/2/14 1:26pm

We will see when the game times come out

concolor couguar

That was before the 3rd tier deal was in

Gentleman Stan

9/2/14 1:22pm

Wrong. You don't know what you are talking about, on several levels.

Gentleman Stan

9/2/14 12:18pm

You are right I didnt consider the ESPN away games.

concolor couguar

9/2/14 12:40pm

As I said, TheW.tv has not been

Gentleman Stan

9/2/14 1:19pm

In addition to TheW.tv, I believe many are also on TWC SportsNet.
