RE: I don't think they care.
Isn't ESPNU now available in like 72 million homes while Versus is in like 70 million homes? And so far none of our games are even earmarked for ESPNU even though we do know at least one of them will be per the contract.

I like the stance of some posts earlier today where it was noted that we have only had 10 games period in the mtn era that made it to any one of the ESPN platforms (including bowl games). BYU may get that many just this year (including the bowl game). This is a major step up for BYU and their exposure goals. The best we could do under the MWC TV contracts was the 70 million on Vs followed by 38 million on CBS Sports and the paltry 8 million for the mtn. Now the worst our contract can do for us is 55 million on BYU-TV (72 million on ESPNU, and 100 million on ESPN or ESPN2) not bad for BYU.

And I'd like to make a note that the information that Utah is not considered part of the PAC TV deal for this year is wrong. All members of the PAC are available for selection to TV slots...but where the truth comes in is Utah is not making any money this year from the TV deal (except for the additional funds for the CCG)...this does not equate to not being a part or not being able to have their games picked up.
