do you have any insight into why they allowed the game to move locations?

That's again something that appears to be a mistake on BYU's side in the contract negotiations - unless BYU prefers this location (which would be shocking).

Coaching staff unhappy with BYU's broadcasting status this week

What’s wrong with FloSports? Idiots

YIsForBrigham

11/19/19 10:47am

It's a business decision for them. If they think they can get more paid

"was unwilling to permit BYU the opportunity to purchase broadcast rights" makes

well they're not getting my $, now or ever.

I can't help but wonder if there are some conflicts of interest going on there.

DraperCoug22

I have access to virtually every other college football broadcast in the country

Doogal McCougar

11/19/19 10:58am

Here's the contact info for Flosports.tv. I suggest we let them know how we feel

Doogal McCougar

11/19/19 11:00am

I complained.

Message sent. I’m not sure whether editing out all the profanity from the first draft was the right call, but I did.

It seems to me like a huge number of fans publicly whining about a $20 fee

cwilke1

11/19/19 3:23pm

Is there a worse streaming deal in the country?

BYU Fan

11/19/19 3:34pm

I like how BYU tries to pay it forward and plays some other lesser known teams

cwilke1

11/19/19 3:48pm

Except for USC & Washington or they not big time programs.

JohnnyC

11/19/19 5:05pm

USC and Washington are definitely big-time programs much higher in the

cwilke1

11/19/19 5:09pm

I don't think college football is a charity

BYU Fan

11/19/19 5:16pm

And you can see that UMass is not on any future schedule. I actually think

cwilke1

11/19/19 5:44pm

I'm fine with BYU tossing UMass a bone

BYU Fan

11/20/19 12:35pm

Hawaii offers a free stream to out of market viewers

KL2BYU

11/19/19 3:50pm

I knew Hawaii charged on the islands

BYU Fan

Flo also broadcasts men’s volleyball games, total niche player

VballDad

11/19/19 10:53pm

And wrestling events under FloWrestling

BYUFam1

11/20/19 9:16am

Doesn’t get any more niche with fewer eyeballs than grappling!

VballDad

11/20/19 3:33pm

We usually get 1mm ish viewers. If only 1% of them actually sign up to watch

molodyets

11/19/19 11:07am

how in the world were the stadium and tv rights not part of the contract?

The Shazad

11/19/19 10:48am

TH would lose a negotiation with Neville Chamberlain.

TriggerWarning

11/19/19 10:51am

Probably also with Neville Longbottom

sammyh72

11/19/19 5:06pm

I doubt any school will sell their TV rights to BYU

KL2BYU

11/19/19 11:00am

they did it the right way last year - that's what I don't quite understand

The Shazad

11/19/19 11:07am

Should have been a 2-for-1.

Doogal McCougar

11/19/19 11:12am

UMass can't sell the rights to BYUtv because they already sold them

Fido

11/19/19 12:35pm

and so my criticism of BYU would be....

The Shazad

11/19/19 12:44pm

do you have any insight into why they allowed the game to move locations?

The Shazad

11/19/19 12:45pm

Conferences usually hold those rights.

Fido

11/19/19 12:23pm

yeah, but seems like there should have been some contingency in the contract

The Shazad

11/19/19 12:31pm

Why do people think TH COULD negotiate TV contract. That's not how it works.

Cougar8Duck

11/19/19 12:46pm

well I definitely don't know how this all works, but....

The Shazad

11/19/19 12:57pm

Bottom line

BYUFam1

11/20/19 10:39am

This game is important for BYU to win the series against UMass.

cwilke1

11/19/19 10:53am

You could cut the tension with a knife

Indy Coug

11/19/19 10:55am

Losing to UMass would be one of the biggest upsets in CFB history.

cougfan03

11/19/19 12:02pm

Never schedule UMass ever again. They are terrible.

KL2BYU

11/19/19 11:01am

Yet, two years ago they beat BYU at LES. What does that say about BYU?

LV Mike

11/19/19 11:18am

Kalani should have been fired that day

Turd Ferguson

11/19/19 11:30am

It says that 2017 was the worst BYU football team in 50+ years

Indy Coug

11/19/19 11:33am

That we had a bad football team.

KL2BYU

11/19/19 1:56pm

KSL Radio it is...

Oatmeal

11/19/19 11:36am

Anybody see if the YouTube TV/VPN trick works?

TerpCoug

11/19/19 11:41am

Nope

Here is the Twitter of FloSports founder and CEO:

KL2BYU

11/19/19 11:45am

And what are you going to say?

Fido

11/19/19 12:37pm

Did you even read the OP? They are refusing to work with BYUtv at all. That is

westsidecoug

11/19/19 12:38pm

Please read the original post in this thread about BYUtv trying to pay for

KL2BYU

11/19/19 12:51pm

FloSports founder is Mark, not Martin, Floreani

UberDeek

11/19/19 12:55pm

He's affiliated with it. I think it is his brother.

KL2BYU

11/19/19 12:57pm

I'm surprised an official BYU account posted that. They don't usually call

Alister Mackenzie

11/19/19 12:57pm

Not happy? Don’t schedule teams on the road with

UNHuskerCoug

11/19/19 1:03pm

Will the game be re-broadcast on BYUtv?

archie

11/19/19 1:07pm

No. No simulcast. No BYUTV replay. BYU has no rights. Zero, zip, zilch.

NWCoug

11/19/19 1:13pm

It will be lost forever into the flofootball network. That's the only way to watch/rewatch

Bob Vance

11/19/19 1:14pm

Don't ever agree to play at UMass again, that's all you can do. Total garbage.

Mitty

11/19/19 1:46pm

Just stop

Blue2thebone

11/19/19 1:53pm

No more games w/UMASS unless 2 for 1.

Whoever is going to the game: I’ll pay you if you film the entire game and

bigbossbyu

11/19/19 2:47pm

I think we should boycott paying FLO - Give Greg Wrubell your business

Heath Squashwell

It's always fun to watch pillow fights!

Go Pumas

11/19/19 3:21pm

What about NESN? Did we talk to them?

2FarGone

11/19/19 3:37pm

They only own the broadcast rights for New England.

KL2BYU

11/19/19 3:51pm

Flo is very difficult to work with.

Blue Heart

11/19/19 4:05pm

Then my KSL radio option seems best IMO.
