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

Home and Home. They need that kind of engaging attitude from other programs, if they are going to fill out their 12 game schedule with interesting teams.

I hope that the biggest schools do not have the same attitude towards BYU - that big-time programs do not play road games in Provo.

Coaching staff unhappy with BYU's broadcasting status this week

What’s wrong with FloSports? Idiots

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

11/19/19 11:05am

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.

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

Doogal McCougar

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

Doogal McCougar

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.

11/19/19 12:37pm

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

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

I'm fine with BYU tossing UMass a bone

Hawaii offers a free stream to out of market viewers

I knew Hawaii charged on the islands

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.

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

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...

Anybody see if the YouTube TV/VPN trick works?

Nope

Here is the Twitter of FloSports founder and CEO:

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

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.

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

It's always fun to watch pillow fights!

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

Then my KSL radio option seems best IMO.
