Is not able to help us with the bowl situation like espn can.... are they? I guess BYU is better than others for most of those lower tier bowls but that really isn’t where we want to be?

Will espn low ball us and hold the bowl game over our heads?

I hope Tom doesn’t allow ESPN+ to be part of the new deal. I realize many of you

I’d say there is a 99% certainty ESPN+ will play a part. Prepare yourself

Would that not be a down grade from what we had before? Everything points to

I think it will be much better. I can see ESPN+ content being in addition to the setup we already have

6/14/19 7:34pm

I hope you’re right, pretty much every game is already televised though?

Honestly, what leverage does BYU / Tom have? WCC for sure will be ESPN+.

I’d rather play on NBC Sports Network (yes, Comcast) than ESPN+.

If they move BYU to ESPN+, who will ESPN replace them with on Saturday nights? Wyoming at New Mexico?

Conan

That’s what I mean. If we get ESPN+ exclusives, we may as well just join the AAC

I'm saying that if you put BYU on ESPN+, Who do you put on the ESPN networks instead?

Yep. We are in agreement. I was agreeing with you.

Tom would take a pay cut for exposure

It’s part of the equation but the $$$ side weighs heavier

How dare you question Tom, BYU, or anyone else that is part of the university!

Does your opinion change if ESPN+ ends up being featured with the Disney Streaming service?

No. Unless there are P5 vs P5 matchups on there as well or AAC vs AAC type of

What if I told you that’s the plan?

6/14/19 5:43pm

Then that’s fine and expected.

That is the plan.
