I suspect that both BYU and ESPN anticipate that there will likely be a lot of changes in that timeframe, so it makes sense to wait and see how things play out before they make commitments that last much longer.

I think it is extremely telling that the new ESPN contract is apparently for only 4-5 years

I think we still be on the outside looking in at that time. However I feel some

I understand, but my point is that either BYU or ESPN or Both don't think so.

I don't agree. Once you are in the Good ole boys club you stay there

Their contract has always allowed them to be "available"

Not likely. They like BYU in those odd time slots that P5 teams dislike.

Holmoe is on record stating that we are joining a conference in 2023 if possible...

In that case, I now know why he thinks independence is sustainable

2FarGone

He said that?

I have never read that anywhere

So are we making stuff up now?

80% of all stats are made up. 63% of people know that!

A simple google search can find it for you....

Coug

I’m not sure what part of that he even said

That doesn't say what you think it says

I find it hard to believe that someone on CB would make something up

Yeah that's against the rules!

Yeah, that's not a quote. Some major 'between the lines' reading going on there

I think BYU will have to prove ability to bring money into a P5 conference

pappabear246

BYU will not be joining a P5. The social landscape won't allow it.

Who is your source for the length of the new ESPN deal?

IndyCoug references it in the linked post, but it was stated by McCann at Media Day with no correction by Tom

6/25/19 1:27pm

IndyCoug is a good guy, but he's not a source. Also, this was not REPORTED

Bostonblue

6/25/19 1:39pm

Dave McCann said 4-5 years twice and Tom Holmoe never corrected him

2FarGone

6/25/19 5:22pm

I just re-listened to the interview and you are completely misrepresenting the

Bostonblue

You are misrepresenting me, I never used the words “announced” or “reported”

2FarGone

McCann was asking a question. He wasn't stating any terms. You specifically

Who is reporting the contract length? ESPN or BYU?

Where but CB can you get unsubstantiated information and a large group swears it

If the deal isnt signed, NOBODY knows what the final agreement will be.

Probably our preference as much as ESPNs

Its not rocket science. In a few years its going to be a bloodbath.

Not really telling, it's typical. Business.
