ESPN owns 16 of the 43 bowls.

That’s a lot of leverage the other networks don’t have.

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

6/14/19 4:59pm

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+.

The fact Criddle was talking/polling about it tells me it will be.

Tom will not be dictating the terms

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?

Conan

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

I doubt it will be part of football

Tom would take a pay cut for exposure

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?

Tokolosh

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.

6/14/19 5:44pm

That is the plan.

What part was “crazy talk?” Did you read the body of the OP?

I’m more with you on this but the thing is Fox (or anyone else for that matter)
