If BYU produces good ratings, then they'll be back.

Does ESPN renew their contract with BYU after 2018?

probably, due to the home games we have scheduled from that point forward

Sure. Inventory is inventory. By 2018, ESPN will be in a pitched

Definitely. BYU gets above average ratings on Thursday/Friday games AND

And the production costs are fairly low for ESPN

That reserved room in the Riviera for Rod Gilmore is really paying off

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

Biggest question is at what price? Will they lowball, assuming no other options?

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