Except that is about $7-8M more than BSU actually gets and about $2-4M more than

BYU may actually get...

IF the numbers from Anae4Anae were actual numbers then the rest of the math is precise and makes the point 100%.

However, the actual numbers would still prove out to be a "savings" or "less money paid out" by ESPN when comparing BYU/BSU vs any 2 other teams not under individual contracts.

BYU to the Big 12 does NOT save ESPN money. Please stop repeating that nonsense.

Does BYU to the Big 12 save ESPN money?

Good question. I have no clue.

You can't make that statement without explaining it.

Yes, they will spend more money on BYU if they're in the Big12

The only remaining Q is how much is ESPN already paying Cincy?

7/29/15 12:24pm

We are also leaving out that BYU not getting in keeps BYU games on ESPN screens

Also depends on ...

if I'm ESPN I don't push to add BYU

LVCougarFan

7/29/15 12:14pm

Wouldn't that just be upping the pay to that other team?

Showing why you don't make those decisions for ESPN

I think you're generally right

This could end up being a very sad truth

Not so fast ESPN makes Millions off of BYU....

7/29/15 2:33pm

More of a compelling side aspect to ESPN's consideration here than others have

BYUFam1

7/29/15 2:54pm

It might cost ESPN less than adding a different team, though.

CosmoK

7/29/15 9:35am

Exactly.

inertiaman

7/29/15 9:37am

This is the correct answer. No matter who ESPN adds, it it going to cost them

7/29/15 9:50am

I don't think anyone is saying that. They are saying adding BYU will cost them

"Save Money" is a relative matter.

Spending Less rather than "Save Money"

Wouldn't Florida or Michigan be taking a pay cut?

Sorry, no matter who--of the teams that are available and willing.

Thanks for the great explanation. Very insightful.

Merging two contracts into one is better than two.

How do you figure..

You are missing nothing.

Uh . . . thanks, Captain Obvious. Practing for your new Studio C sketch?

7/29/15 12:41pm

Kind of disappointing that some find it necessary to respond like a child

BYUFam1

7/29/15 1:02pm

It wasn't *necessary.* Just appropriate.

Certainly would be if you are a child of that level

BYU having that contract is a direct assessment of their value to ESPN

BYUFam1

7/29/15 2:19pm

Not only is there absorption of their Direct payment contract of BYU...

Will ESPN make more money if BYU goes to the BIG XII is really the question.
