This is a very intriguing option... ESPN has already shown willingness to think
outside the box and willingness to try new things. If Netflix could bring money to the table it might be a good way for them to get their feet wet.

Don't tell him that Disney owns both ESPN and ABC. It might shake him up....

That would be fun. I could binge watch the whole season in a weekend

It's true, BYU's last non-ESPN deal went so well-they should totally do it again

If I was an exec at ESPN I'd be moving in that direction already...

That was regional though. Netflix is worldwide.

Actually, CSTV was intended to be a national network

BYUTV is already a content provider to Netflix

With the broadcast facilities they could do all sorts of stuff for Netflix.

An entire season on Netflix plus a Netflix bowl game in Vegas.

Pretty cool idea.

Credit for a creative idea, but probably too early

probably too soon today, but what about in 3 years?

I guess I don't see why BYU would outsource this

If BYU truly has options, then ESPN will pay what it's worth.

How good is Netflix at streaming live content?

By 2019 (or 2020 if ESPN picks up their option) streaming will be better
