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

Pretorian

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+.

Better than average ratings.... the one thing that matters to a tv network

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

rainorsnow

6/14/19 5:10pm

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

Conan

6/14/19 9:09pm

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

puntersarepeople

6/14/19 5:31pm

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

6/14/19 5:31pm

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

6/14/19 5:25pm

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

6/14/19 5:40pm

What if I told you that’s the plan?

6/14/19 5:43pm

Then that’s fine and expected.

rainorsnow

6/14/19 5:44pm

That is the plan.

This is plain crazy talk. It is all about eyeballs. Espn and espn2 are way in

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

rainorsnow

6/14/19 6:29pm

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

Pretorian

ESPN owns 16 of the 43 bowls.

I haven't paid yet. But you bet I will if BYU is on it.

It’s Holmoe so that’s probably exactly what’s gonna happen.
