that's a pretty good point

and I agree. It all comes back to our ESPN contract. Fox is not really a good option for BYU because of how our fanbase is constituted. It's fine for a fanbase that is 80% regional. Ours is spread all over and BYU has committed to serving it no matter where they are. It's hard to think of a setup that would do that better than ESPN combined with BYUTV.

Exactly my friend...

Yellow Snow

how do you know sunday play isn't an issue at all?

yahtzee

1/26/12 4:43pm

Well... i guess Sunday play was with FOX but not the B12...

What about rebroadcasts after one month?

Coog4Life

1/26/12 4:37pm

Fox already allows rebroadcasts after 72 hours I believe.

1/26/12 4:37pm

This is where I'm at. I just really like pulling games up

The irony of it, is that ESPN is pushing hard for ESPNU

So if ESPN could handle all the broadcasting for the Big12,

Yes... It is my opinion that you would already be in...

BYU won't leave independence without some media concessions

Actually not everyone could see the mtn. because it wasn't

1/26/12 4:59pm

technically, couldn't they have switched to DTV and paid?

WhiteKnight

Yes but with Fox you won't need to switch, just upgrade with

Now you understand... you said it yourself

Seriously Uneducated.... your board name is a lie...

No I'm pretty stupid still. Just more educated on some topic

Sunday play was (is) an issue,

shoganai

1/26/12 5:40pm

FOX?

Yellow Snow

1/26/12 5:45pm

Mostly with Fox. Also with some Big 12 admins.

shoganai

1/26/12 5:49pm

No offense taken... no worries at all...

Yellow Snow

1/26/12 5:58pm

Does fox own the Big 12 Bball championship rights?

improv

1/26/12 6:00pm

I think they're likely to be shared going forward.

shoganai

1/26/12 6:09pm

Their website doesnt list FOX as a carrier of bball games

improv

1/26/12 6:24pm

Yep...

Yellow Snow

1/26/12 6:28pm

Shoganai is correct---SUNDAY play is a big issue.

haroldskilley

1/26/12 6:15pm

TV guy? FOX?

Yellow Snow

They don't need to stop Sunday play...
