I don’t see TV coverage for the UMASS game? Anyone?

No, that's never a good idea.

Independance = Exposure... or something like that.

Two ESPN prime time games and two games on ABC national this year

Indy Coug

If BYU were a member of the American and played USC OOC, they'd also be on ABC.

Houston has already had two games that weren't on TV this year, with several left to be determined

Indy Coug

As a Houston fan myself, the two are not apples to apples in terms of fan base.

Irrelevant. Besides, the issue with BYU's games not being broadcast are a function of the teams they

Indy Coug

And the garbage, meaningless game is a function of Independance.

Keep blowing that horn friendo, it keeps making you look like a fool

Solid argument. Indy is bliss. BYU doesnt play UMASS on garbage TV.

Klompus

What about Boise or UCF or even Cincinnati?

BYU Fan

10/23/19 3:01pm

if BYU played an away game that wouldn't be televised. Would BYUTV be willing

USC would likely have not scheduled us if we weren't independent and fill their

This is nonsense. BYU is BYU. Has nothing to do with indy.

The PAC12 have scheduling guidelines and require x number of P5 OOC opponents. BYU is considered P5

You mean like Navy? Cinci? Those teams are cleared for other conferences.

Klompus

This isn’t even up for debate. It’s a fact. Tom Holmoe has said it himself.

I think this is simply a numbers game

BYU Fan

10/23/19 4:47pm

Houston played 2. UCF played 2. Thats exactly what BYU would shoot for as well.

Klompus

10/23/19 5:17pm

We’re playing 4-6. You’re saying you want to go back to playing 2?

Refugee

10/23/19 7:01pm

I'm pretty sure ND takes care of their P5 requirement

BYU Fan

10/23/19 2:57pm

That’s not what I’m debating. The reason we get so many is because

Refugee

The "P5 designation" thing is a joke

BYU Fan

10/23/19 4:50pm

That’s not the debate either.

Refugee

10/23/19 5:17pm

And we also have three games against teams below the G5 level

BYU Fan

Never said it was perfect...

Refugee

BYU will have less games on national TV this year than Boise & many AAC schools

BYU Fan

10/23/19 2:54pm

Umm. Every game will be on national TV except umass

LiveCoug

10/23/19 3:32pm

ESPN+ is not national TV

BYU Fan

10/23/19 3:38pm

Good point sorry every game but two.

LiveCoug

10/23/19 3:55pm

People are arguing that this is some sort of amazing thing

BYU Fan

10/23/19 3:58pm

Look at all of our games that are broadcast nationally. Compare that to schools in conf where those schools are limited

Cougarpride

I dont see any proof that players love it. If that were true, wouldn't

Klompus

10/23/19 1:32pm

You don’t think players like EXPOSURE!!!! Or, that players don’t like to play around the country...

Cougarpride

I am also a former athlete and coach. FACT is, it has NOT helped recruiting.

Klompus

10/23/19 5:18pm

Don’t forget that donors is the lifeline of most if not all programs. That means keeping alumni and supporters connected

I'm praying byutv will get to broadcast it again, but it's less likely this time

I don't think God cares much about this issue
