Re: Holmoe: ESPN tv contract extension coming this year
It means we're coming up on the end of our 8 year deal with ESPN so BYU has been actively pursuing an extension to that contract. This is goo news.
BYU PER W/L Since 1972: 432-76 (.850)
(8.4xYDS)+(330xTD)+(100xCOM)-(200xINT)

The existing contract runs through 2018 with an option for ESPN to extend it through 2019. It is about that time that negotiations for the next contract should start sometime this year.

Sounds like we should have renegotiated in 2015 or 2016 while ESPN was throwing money at football teams/conferences.

Re: Holmoe: ESPN tv contract extension coming this year
I wonder if another large network (FOX) would be willing to get in a bidding war with ESPN for BYU. Could make things a little more fun.

Re: Holmoe: ESPN tv contract extension coming this year
Holmoe's comments in those articles don't sound like he is out trying to bid networks against each other for BYU's contract. He sounded pretty committed to ESPN as a partner.
