It is a Hail Mary but anything can happen

I am confident in saying, however, it has been more dramatic than any soap opera.

I think Pete Thamel has this right

If that is true, does BYU leave the confines of ESPN with its national audience

What is regional about Fox?

7/29/21 7:45am

I'll admit, I don't pay much attention to Fox (I mostly stream nowadays)

OSUCougar

Sold all of them. Some ended up in the hands of ATT, others are now called Bally

Good info. Wasn’t aware of that. Thanks.

Fox, FS1, and FS2 are national, but yes, I am sure that this is the question facing BYU

Good point. I had forgotten about FS1 and didn't know there was an FS2.

There is national exposure and prestige that comes from being at the big boys

Quality exposure vs quantity exposure

Good read.

IDK about that. What has Bowlsby done to earn that trust?

Avery

If being judged by his body of work, and not just his actions/inactions that impacted BYU, I can see Thamel's point.

Super annoying ESPN has been behind all of this. But this part is very encouragi

7/29/21 7:53am

That sounds logical, but... the Big12 isn't logical.

If the B12 gets Fox's support, adding BYU lifts their brand, and hurts ESPN

Not having ESPN on your side is a recipe for disaster in relation to college

Ummm... SEC has been with CBS for a long time and isn't suffering

SEC has had a deal with ESPN for 25+ years. Yes, CBS had tier 1 or whatever

Makes you think ESPN may have had some influence in BYU not getting in the B12…

Good chance we possibly see Netflix and or Youtube come into play now as well.

My understanding is you are correct on minimum of 10 members

I believe that was the case until 2016...

There will likely be some type of settlement here

It's either that, or a last-ditch desperation heave to shed some light on a

I think this means the Big 12 survives and gets some type of settlement
