Wasn’t one of the main points of independence to have better TV access?

Home team has always determined TV. Has nothing to do w/independence.

If UMass a aleady has a contract w/a provider, it's not so simple.

That's when Tom should have decided that the games wouldn't happen, certainly not H/H.

Few contract negotiations are, but things such as TV coverage are worth it.

Yup. This is what we get for playing such a lousy, low-budget team on the road

11/18/19 7:39am

One that probably would have conceded some rights if BYU had asked during the

That’s why we should never schedule UMass again

Would we be playing UMASS in November of we were still a MWC member?

Did you miss all the games on ESPN and ABC this year?

I expect to be able to watch every game

Loosen up the purse strings and pay the $4.99 or $20. Unless...

CougarBuddy

How? Every single game has been available to watch.

You're right - these pay per view streaming options are fantastic

BYU Fan

11/18/19 8:08am

you're "old fashioned" but in the past very few away games were broadcast at all

The mtn distribution was a disaster

BYU Fan

11/18/19 8:30am

Then pay more and get the directtv option...

CougarBuddy

11/18/19 8:35am

I'm not convinced that the DirecTV option is going to work

BYU Fan

11/18/19 8:43am

ABC and ESPN did not happen during the mtn contract. People seem to forget that

The only way to do that is not schedule Toledo and UMass.

WJCougar

11/18/19 6:41pm

someone at BYU must have screwed up their contract with UMass

The Shazad

BYU doesn't control media rights for away games.

hydrocoug

11/18/19 7:42am

It’s one game

mudpupper

11/18/19 7:43am

Agreed. We have had amazing access to BYU games for the most part for the last 8+ years since we left the mtn. No

ESPN+ is great and worth the money.

molodyets

11/18/19 7:43am

Genuinely curious. What do you use ESPN+ for mostly?

rainorsnow

11/18/19 8:27am

The original series are great. 30 for 30s are great. Lots of rugby is great.

molodyets

11/18/19 8:28am

I haven’t gotten it yet, but I think that’s probably what I’d watch if I had it

Soccer — EURO 2020 qualifying matches are all on there.

ESPN+ seems like a great option for a 3rd monitor while working from home

Ok boomer.

As the President of the AAC fan club, what are your thoughts on ESPN+?

BYU Fan

Hasn't been a problem for any Houston games this year, so I am good to go 😉
