  • Dear Tom Holmoe

    You have a TV network with access in 50MM homes nationwide.

    That's your highest card in negotiating with the Big 12. That, with some help to the network, could be pitched as almost NBC light ala ND.

    PRESS IT, TOMMY

    Wait, aren't you the one saying that BYU to the Big 12 is already happening? Why the open letter to Holmoe?

      And I'm sure that all 50MM are tuned in 24/7.

        I was flipping through the channels in the upper reaches of my cable package last night, looking for something decent to watch. Each channel was usually able to grab my attention for 2 to 3 seconds, at least long enough to figure out what was on. The only channel that did not at least grab my attention for that short time was BYU TV. I think what I saw as I ran full speed to the next channel was a BYU professor round table scripture discussion.
        Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

          it's still a negotiation my man. We need all the leverage we can utilize.

            It's still a platform. Think of the old, pre Versus OLN channel..the scriptures around the table applies but you could also present tobthe big 12 a plan that involves getting some $$ behind a real first rate sports coverage effort and perhaps some rev share from ad $$$ during games.

            It's an enormously underrated underutilized platform.

            Again, so many if you are so low on your meds post Utah to PAC 10, I can see why you don't see the big picture...for now

                Thinking that BYUTV could even be considered as something like NBC light ala Notre Dame is proof that someone needs meds.

                  I see the point Viking is trying to make, however. Most conferences have to really work to get tv stations. BYU already has a network that comes free on most cable and satellite systems. Or at least people are already ordering the package that it comes on.

                    I can tell you this is one of the things Tom was referring to in his veiled comments. Again, you guys are so negative you don't know your asses from elbows

                      Network is free but ad generation could be big for big 12 games w BYU.

                        Is there anyway to tell how much viewership BYU-TV gets?

                        Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

                          I'm sure there is but the point isn't what it is today but what is could be.

                            You need to sync up with that dude that is posting BYU's resume to the Big 12 everywhere. I am sure if the two of you put your heads together on this BYU will get that invite in no time.

                              Ummm, ok.

                              I'm negative because I think you're delusional?
