BYU gave up some of it's bargaining power, being pretty clear that exposure was

It's main interest. ESPN was more than happy to oblige with the smallest contract for the most games possible.

That means 75 million in total value added if he is right.

That's what I calculated. (12 x 31) - (11 x 27) = 372 - 297 = 75

to be fair, he said 27 or 28... so it could be 64 million

Does that include the conference office share? Could be $79MM.

So could BYU have been getting more than we thought from ESPN?

If that is true. & he isn’t the first source to say that BYU was incredibly

So BYU could join the SEC and be right in line with the money!

It’s so obvious that the lack of adding BYU was petty politics, not financial.

Indy Coug

3/21/23 6:45pm

Yep - and it's very ironic that they are thinking of adding

3/21/23 6:48pm

And especially ironic that this could be the difference between the Big12&PAC #s

ESPN knows exactly what they have with BYU. That is the benefit of a stand alone

Mister P

That's pretty amazing. Especially from an outside source

TNT

Nothing says money shot like BYU!

Exactly what I was thinking. I don’t think OP knows the meaning of that term.

He probably does. It was the reporter that said it though.

Lol I admittedly didn’t watch the interview, and glad it was the reporter

I wish they had the 3 guys on camera when he said that--would love to have

Sounds like we can expect at least four night games to fill the After Dark ESPN

Nat Gas Man

3/21/23 9:37pm

Why not? Gives us an advantage and a great shot to win

gmj81

3/21/23 9:42pm

Well for one

Nat Gas Man

3/21/23 9:54pm

Love it OK would freeze their little connastogas off

Borg

3/21/23 10:51pm

With that value BYU would not be dilutive to sec or b10

Dr T-bone

3/21/23 10:35pm

Well said - although I’d prefer discrimination vs arrogance

braddahmike

3/21/23 11:30pm

Why not both?

Dr T-bone

3/21/23 11:49pm

But BYU was not good enough for the snobby PAC10.
