To get $20 mil in revenune, you'd need to sell 200,000 $100 season passes.

A creative alternative to a BYU's next TV deal

Cougarclaw

Very interesting.

Alister Mackenzie

Every fan of every team on our schedule would sign up for Nextflix

very creative, forward-thinking and seriously plausible...A+++++ for effort

PS, at the end of the day i think you have to stay with ESPN, but working in

Maybe a Netflix bowl game and rebroadcasts of regular season games plus other

You do realize that ABC sports is ESPN, correct?

Left Shark Coug

Wait espn won't be bidding against itself?

concolor couguar

Maybe we could get the Ocho to bid against the Deuce

It would be a shame if JJ Abrams had to shoot down Cougarclaw's theory

that's all you have to say after a post like that? point out one flaw? this is

Don't tell him that Disney owns both ESPN and ABC. It might shake him up....

BostonCougar

That would be fun. I could binge watch the whole season in a weekend

DapperDan

Watch out for the surprise ending!

4/29/15 8:01am

It's true, BYU's last non-ESPN deal went so well-they should totally do it again

cougarmeister

That's exactly what I was thinking of while reading this

It wouldn't be that different of a scenario

very different (iirc)...

icecougar

4/28/15 3:45pm

Key word in my post is is "unproven"

cougarmeister

4/28/15 4:53pm

If I was an exec at ESPN I'd be moving in that direction already...

icecougar

4/28/15 6:58pm

That was regional though. Netflix is worldwide.

Turnpike Lane

4/28/15 11:52am

Actually, CSTV was intended to be a national network

cougarmeister

4/28/15 12:44pm

by comparison you're talking pinhole cameras vs 4k and HD on every wireless...

icecougar

4/28/15 3:29pm

BYUTV is already a content provider to Netflix

cypresstx

4/28/15 11:33am

With the broadcast facilities they could do all sorts of stuff for Netflix.

Alister Mackenzie

4/28/15 11:44am

An entire season on Netflix plus a Netflix bowl game in Vegas.

TrueAndBlue

4/28/15 11:34am

Pretty cool idea.

bluebloodedcoug

4/28/15 11:34am

Credit for a creative idea, but probably too early

BaYoU

4/28/15 11:35am

probably too soon today, but what about in 3 years?

Cougarclaw

4/28/15 3:12pm

I guess I don't see why BYU would outsource this

BaYoU

4/28/15 3:52pm

If BYU truly has options, then ESPN will pay what it's worth.

Freddie Cougar

4/28/15 11:35am

How good is Netflix at streaming live content?

mudpupper

4/28/15 11:40am

That's why the partnership with BYUtv could be helpful

Because a third party would pay BYU for the ability to do so

IDK if it is apples:oranges, but YouTube does well enough

bluebloodedcoug

4/28/15 11:59am

By 2019 (or 2020 if ESPN picks up their option) streaming will be better

Art Director

4/28/15 11:45am

Yeah great idea. Youtube could be a better option than netflix

Southpaw102

4/28/15 11:49am

I think this is a great, intelligent idea.

break it up to 4 teams

Heinz57

4/28/15 12:17pm

Hulu might be more open to it than Netflix

SoCalCoug

4/28/15 11:59am

Both..

Heinz57

Plus Netflix loves BYUtv. They are now streaming Granite Flats seasons 1-3.

I agree. but in 10 years we might be flipping between apps instead of channels..

Yes but that wasn't my point really. I use the WatchESPN app now.

4/28/15 5:30pm

At this point Netflix would not likely help in any scheduling leverage

Q-grr

4/28/15 12:40pm

Do we already have HD broadcasting ability? BYUtv is not in HD on my DirecTV

SaturdaySpecialDay

4/28/15 12:40pm

By default, broadcast is in HD

Heinz57

That is a lot of alphabet soup bro. I'm not that smart. DirecTV sucks I guess

icecougar

This does not need to be an exclusive deal...BYU owning the rebroadcast rights
