Why add BYU and pay them more than what they are already paying them? Why not add a DIFFERENT market and keep BYU at the low payout they have them at now. If i'm running that company seems like a reasonable thing to do.

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?

AZcougLawyer

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

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

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

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

Six Foot Seven

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.

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.

CougarMandias

7/29/15 1:42pm

Certainly would be if you are a child of that level

ESPN would certainly prefer to keep

It isn't really irrelevant

Talking about two different things, I think

bean of joy

7/29/15 2:07pm

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.
