UMass is going to do what is best for UMass, not BYU fans

KL2BYU Walk-on

UMass took the only TV payout / broadcast partner that would offer them, apparently. Flo Sports.

They have 6 home games to sell. I doubt they alter their TV contract to make BYU fans happy.

Flo Sports wants to make money----that means charging for the streams, and not giving it away for free to BYUtv and BYU fans.

Nope. Their contract is with Flo who will likely refuse any offer

Thought it was 19.99 for a monthly. 12.50 was if you bought the year

It's only 12.50 if you get the year plan. 19.99 for just the month

This is a joke right? How does BYU allow this to happen? No one is gonna signup

Home teams control the rights.

BYU doesn't control another school's TV rights

KL2BYU

I get that, but they should have added in additional casts when agreeing to play

I doubt that BYU would find any school willing to assign its TV rights to BYU

KL2BYU

11/17/19 2:08pm

Point is BYU shouldn't have agreed to series at all

There were 2 games in a row in Provo on the front half. That said, yeah,

The contract was signed before UMass signed this tv deal

molodyets

11/17/19 2:00pm

Right, but BYU should always put that in their clause. Short sighted not to

If you are this excited about the game, open your wallet and spend $20.

KL2BYU

11/17/19 2:09pm

To what? Not require fans to pay to watch the game? If that was the case

Why to games on a row in Massachusetts?

11/17/19 6:00pm

it's on NESN which is a Boston sports channel - plenty of tv providers offer it - and if they don't there is a backup

We shouldn't play anywhere that doesn't have decent game broadcast options

It’s on DirecTV

Do you have proof?

LiveCoug

Well, I set it to record yesterday

Ok. Looks like I'd need to upgrade. Thanks for the tip!

LiveCoug

11/17/19 2:25pm

Yes, it will be streamed on FloSports (the TV provider for UMass). Charge is $20

Anybody know how much BYU paid to get it on BYUtv last time?

mokelembembe

11/17/19 2:00pm

That was under a different tv deal so not relevant

molodyets

11/17/19 2:01pm

If you have DirecTV, it’s channel 628

They don't do it anymore. SportSurge.net is where they refer you to.
