Byu’s audience is BYU fans. That’s our brand power.

Some think that our brand is much more prestigious than it really is or that college football fans care about BYU. The average college fan cares nothing about BYU. The reason BYU has interest from ESPN is because our own fan base and interest is large enough.

CB is supposedly full of wealthy businessmen yet so many don't understand the

Many here overestimate the BYU brand ITO. As does some of the University

BYU's brand is fine IMO otherwise we wouldn't be able to get our own contract

TNT didn't say the brand was not valuable. Just overvalued

Does the 'average college football fan' care much about any team other than

ManicBlue

They care about the other teams in their conference. That’s huge.

Yeah doubt that for the 'average' fan ... maybe the more hardcore fan.

I watched a ton of MWC games that BYU wasn’t playing in

SlantRoute

6/25/19 6:19pm

So ... you're saying that you're average? Gotcha 😃

ManicBlue

6/25/19 6:28pm

Yep. I’m pretty average. Watch an average amount of football.

SlantRoute

I see the problem here. It's a perception issue. 😃

The AAC makes a whole lot more than the other conferences you listed

6/25/19 2:48pm

The new AAC tv deal gives each school about $7M a year

mudpupper

6/25/19 2:52pm

And that new deal has not started; current AAC deal is just under $2M per school

Why can't we do both, be in a G5 and have a espn deal? You used the example of

kolob32

6/25/19 2:49pm

Because the AAC isn't desperate to add BYU? The MWC had to keep BSU.

mudpupper

6/25/19 2:51pm

Well let's find a conference desperate enough to let us keep espn deal and

the $$$ isn't helping improve the football team- hasn't finished ranked in AP as

franklyvulgar

6/25/19 2:51pm

There are a ton of factors when it comes to the performance of teams.

mudpupper

6/25/19 2:55pm

I dunno, Bronco went from winning 10+ and being ranked to not as Indy

franklyvulgar

6/25/19 2:58pm

How many of those ranked team consisted primarily of Bronco's own recruits?

CougarThug

6/25/19 3:05pm

I think this is the first time I've seen Bronco's success given to Crowton.

ochobeeguy

6/25/19 9:12pm

I think the biggest issue is simply QB play

Dissenter

6/25/19 3:08pm

fair and accurate point

franklyvulgar

6/25/19 3:09pm

I totally agree if you were to apply the Ben Criddle pie chart of accountability

Trent

6/25/19 6:36pm

2014 and 2015 were the years

puntersarepeople

6/25/19 6:59pm

You can more correctly blame that on coaching.

CougarThug

6/25/19 3:01pm

Only because of Taysom's injuries. BYU has had the pieces.

mulletino

6/25/19 3:16pm

I think that highlights the notion that we are a bit thin - a key injury here and there means the difference

Bob Vance

6/25/19 6:09pm

Every team that has a Heisman-caliber QB go down sees major drop off. (Oklahoma 2009 anyone?)

mulletino

6/25/19 6:19pm

This is 95% true. There are a few teams that were grandfathered into the new Good Ole Boys.

Q-grr

6/25/19 2:52pm

Way more than a few. The bulk of P5 media value rests on 20 or fewer schools

boscatar

Erring on the side of caution to stymie the likes of DeGroot, Mudpupper and the Nancies out there.

You call 1.5 million more than the AAC a modest TV deal?

Coug

Stop ruining his argument with financial mumbo jumbo.

Looks like you mixed up ACC and AAC

CB is also full of people who are NOT wealthy businessmen.

SingleStrapBackpack

6/25/19 3:08pm

CB income polls tend to say otherwise

TNT

6/25/19 3:12pm

I think my point was that for a bunch of self proclaimed zillionaires it seems

mudpupper

6/25/19 3:23pm

I got your point. My point is that unless you've done an exhaustive cross-correlation of CBers based on past posting

TNT is a wealthy businessman? hey TNT...I need a loan 🙂

A bunch of wealthy businessmen? Ooookaay

Thank you Mr. Obvious. However keep in mind there are many who are not in business, yet. There are youth on this
