Did he just say ESPN was going to carry ALL our home games?

Did I hear that right? If so, that is CRAZY. I am having a hard time believing my ears right now.

Thats what i heard too. This is gonna be so much fun. I cant wait to get out of the mwc..

Holy Schneikes!

Love the deal with ND. Cant wait to get that going again. All my peeps back in Chi-town love ND. This is gonna be great talking trash with them again.

this sounds great!!! the only thing I see in this is that the broadcast station on ESPN is determined by how good we are. If we win a lot, we will get ESPN, but if we lose early in the season, are we going to be on ESPN3 or online, or ESPNU?



this could either be really really good, or really really bad. We won't be able to bail out on ESPN like we did on the Mtn.

So that is great news, but I attend all of the home games. For the away games, will it depend on the other schools broadcast? Will we have any access to those games? One nice thing about the conference affiliation was every conference road game was still a conference game and therefore on a channel I had.

It was later clarified--the "ESPN family of networks" and I might have heard BYUTV mentioned in there as well.



ESPNU blows, and I'm not sure if ESPN3(60) is included in the "family of networks" or not. I'd rather have it on BYUTV than either of those.



The one thing that was crystal clear is that all FB and mens BB games will be available nationally.

Any news on the compensation? My guess is its a tiered compensation. As mentioned, if we get bumped to espnu, comp is going to be lower. The key will be if byu retains some broadcast and rebroadcast rights.

Think about RECRUITING.

Not a word on compensation. BYU will have same-day rebroadcast rights for all games carried by ESPN. I imagine they'll hold on to those rebroadcast rights no matter what additional deals they sign.
