I'm worried about BYU's ESPN contract when it comes up for renewal

ESPN IS in the drivers seat. And all the risk IS with BYU

Maybe they'd watch to see BYU lose.

The only real worry is what will the market pay in 2019 with cord cutting going on.

If BYU ended up getting a winning bid from Fox some CBers' heads would explode

With good reason. Fox isn't as good as ESPN.

I think the quality of broadcast is better with Fox...

Are you serious? It's terrible. No replays ever and boneheaded commentators

Yup. I like the Fox/FS1 broadcasts better.

Not to mention how much harder it is to find games on Fox..

I think Fox is a step down in accessibility and exposure from ESPN

Im curious to know what interest Fox has at BYU content (or potentially NBC)...

BYU fills a good niche. Cheaper than P5 games and more eyeballs than G5 games.

Good points. Makes it more likely, for ESPN to want to continue a relationship.

Luckily BYU's relationship with ESPN is nothing like its relationship w/ the B12

Maybe. But BYU & ESPN can probably negotiate much more privately.

Sure, as long as they don't wait until September 2019

Our leverage is that there are other networks besides ESPN.

Poor example since it is a game outside of the normal contract...

Who estimates that ESPN paid 3m for that game?

ESPN isn't the only network/distributor BYU can negotiate with.
