TEN Cougar Football games on ESPN family of networks

Eight games on ESPN or ESPN2, two more on "Espn family of networks, one on BYUtv, and Or. State still not determined.



Anyone want more exposure???

Don't forget the bowl game! :evil:

This was probably the best and only announcement of media day.

yep.

I was disappointed with the lack of announcements, but as i think more about it it was an impressive event. It did cement the significance of what byu is doing in terms of media and exposure and alleviated to some degree future home schedule concerns.



It cannot be understated how significant being on espn 8 times is either. also hearing espn say things like you will be amazed and what we can do in terms of exposure and increasing brand recognition for byu is a big deal.



So it was successful, but it seems that it would have been a good opportunity to provide some scheduling information or give some new information.

The lack of announcements was a bit of a let down after the rumor mill was all abuzz about it, unless you live on campus. Then the announcement about all the ESPN channels to be available on BYU cable would be pretty exciting. When I living on campus all we had was ESPNU.

I'm wondering if there are some big games planned, but the final details are still being ironed out. Hopefully it's because BYU is playing hard to get and demanding home and home series with some of these top tier schools. BYU should definitely be using ESPN coverage as leverage in their deals with teams.

Tom Holmoe sure smiled like he knew about some games and potential games when asked about scheduling. An not just a small smile--it was telling. I think he could barely contain himself to not spill. So I expect some news.

That comment about ESPN not on campus must be a recent developement. I had it as a freshman in 07-08 before my mission. . . so they cancled it in the last 3 years. Granted it was just ESPN no 2 or U but still it was there.
