Do that many more eyeballs see an ESPN U game vs. ESPN+. Don't confuse

ease of BYU fans to see the game for free with national exposure in a meaningful sense. And ESPN+ for $5 vs. $20 for a crappy stream isn't the same thing.

Top MWC & AAC teams DO NOT have worse TV exposure than BYU

BYU Fan

11/20/19 9:44am

CBS Sports is awful. ESPN or Fox are the best channels to play on for CFB

MikeDitka'sStache

The UMass situation is unlikely to repeat itself. Remove that sort of game

gwalker

11/20/19 9:50am

I see the UMass issue coming up again to some extent with Liberty, Rice, etc

BYU Fan

11/20/19 10:28am

Liberty has a contract with ESPN+. Rice with CUSA.

KL2BYU

11/20/19 10:29am

Exactly, so the Liberty game won't be on broadcast TV

ESPNU is available through most cable & satellite providers

BYU Fan

11/20/19 5:09pm

Their contact is for ESPN+ (much better than FloSports), AND games can be shown

I guess we'll have to wait and hope for the best

Spend 2 minutes looking at our future schedules and it would be hard to come up

MikeDitka'sStache

11/20/19 9:53am

Exactly. Say we joined the MWC/ACC and were able to keep all of our OOC games

BYUMizzou

Our future schedules are good for the next few years . . .

For "exposure" the only considerations should be ESPN, ESPN2, Fox, and networks

The Y's Insider

11/20/19 9:55am

And there is a difference between ESPN primetime Saturday and ESPN2 Friday night

The AAC gets some pretty good time slots

BYU Fan

11/20/19 10:31am

I agree with you on the AAC. I strongly disagree with you regarding MWC/Boise

Doogal McCougar

11/20/19 10:46am

There is a 0% chance your written scenario comes to fruition.

MikeDitka'sStache

11/20/19 10:50am

Oh, I agree with you 100%. It's still my ideal scenario though.

Doogal McCougar

On what days are the games played and in what time slots? The ability to

Pasadena

Read this. This is the outsider, objective, comparison of BYU to the MWC

BYUMizzou

11/20/19 9:58am

Right, BYU Fan needs to break it down further because ABC ≠ ESPNNews

mwcoug

11/20/19 10:10am

and I would take ESPN 3 over CBSSports

here's to hoping

11/20/19 12:02pm

OP, I hope you’ll read this...

Refugee

11/20/19 2:17pm

I was thinking more availability than exposure

BYU Fan

11/20/19 2:28pm

The money though?

Jesse Pinkman

11/20/19 9:58am

BYU Fan sums it up perfectly!

guitarplayingcougar

11/20/19 10:01am

Availability bs exposure has been discussed here. However, I think from the time

Shovel jockey

11/20/19 2:33pm

Agreed.

11/20/19 4:25pm

It's more about the money and really always has been.

This guys just looking for something to 'argue' about. Haven't seen much

Benfica1

11/20/19 10:07am

The TV exposure in the MWC is much worse.

KL2BYU

11/20/19 10:09am

How many did any of them play on ABC this year?

SoCalCoug

11/20/19 10:17am

Well Memphis got a primetime ABC game & college gameday

BYU Fan

11/20/19 10:29am

Here's the list:

Doogal McCougar

11/20/19 10:51am

so majority of those games had a P5 school as the opponent.

Break it down home vs away in addition to what others have said. How many of

Cougar8Duck

11/20/19 10:36am

Most of them would be conference TV contracts

BYU Fan

11/20/19 11:54am

Wrong ESPN> CBS Sports Network. Not close.

kahuna

11/20/19 11:34am

ESPN, ESPN2, CBS Sports, etc are all available with most cable & satellite

BYU Fan

11/20/19 11:49am

If you think ESPN suite of channels are the same.

kahuna

11/20/19 5:47pm

Your statements are incorrect: Look at USU

you padded the MWC teams' ESPN game #s by adding the games they play us 🙂

D.T. Survivor

11/20/19 11:45am

And CBSSN inventory. Their ESPN broadcasts are in the 10pm timeslot...

Doogal McCougar

11/20/19 11:47am

Maybe they padded our stats

BYU Fan

11/20/19 11:50am

Thats counted in there as UMass and Flosports.

11/20/19 12:10pm

it's not just about the actual exposure but the $ they get for it

fattycoug

11/20/19 12:22pm

I believe that the AAC has a similar sized TV contract to BYU

BYU Fan

11/20/19 12:32pm

The popular argument is exposure would drop substantially, and that's true.

Pasadena

11/20/19 12:41pm

Please explain - I'm not seeing it.

BYU Fan

11/20/19 12:50pm

Days and kickoff times are different as explained above as well as normalizing

Pasadena

11/20/19 1:03pm

Your premise is wrong. Boise has NO WHERE NEAR BYU's exposure this year

Doogal McCougar

11/20/19 1:12pm

That is fair - availability is probably similar but exposure may vary

BYU Fan

11/20/19 1:23pm

Casual college football fans watch a lot more games on ABC and ESPN primetime

You had a point until your 3rd bullet point. Then it was over. CBS Sports?

CBS Sports is a nationally available channel

BYU Fan

11/20/19 5:08pm

BYU played on abc at 130 twice this year. Not seeing Bsu.

BYU '80
