ESPN certainly has its production routine and costs down to a science but you'd have to back that out in the assessment you're talking about.

Gustav

Who knows if it saves them anything...

Also, BYU's contract was written before we started scheduling well. So our

Unless they signed the deal with the intent to chase certain types of games

You would also have to consider BYU's lack of leverage at the time
