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

In the end I think ESPN would lose money if BYU goes to the BIG 12

because they would lose established income off the current contract.

Now I realize ESPN would make money off BYU in the big 12 but not as much as they are making now.

Just my Opinion

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

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

7/29/15 12:14pm

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

I think you're generally right

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

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?

7/29/15 12:41pm

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

that nonsense, that nonsense, that nonsense, that nonsense.

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.

7/29/15 1:42pm

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...

You are not taking into consideration a few things:

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