    I can see their issue. If BYU fans just have to wait a few hours to watch the game, they're less likely to want to subscribe to the FSN package (which isn't all that easy to find).
    In my area, moving from the package that gets you all the ESPNs, BYUTV, CSTV, the MTN, etc,, to the FSN package more than doubles my cable bill.

    Not sure I'm going to shell out anyway, but if I could watch the game the same day on BYUTV I for sure wouldn't. But next day is no different than two or three days, IMHO.

    That said, since BYU only cares about exposure, not money, and FSN only cares about money, not exposure--right? right?--I don't see a deal can't be worked out where BYU pays $500k a game for same day rebroadcast rights.

    Or are we not as daffily otherworldly as some think?
    I think, perhaps, the only person who hates BYU fans more than ute fans hate BYU fans, is Bronco Mendenhall.

      Thinking about Rich Harmon's article about BYU to the Big 12 yesterday. Being that the article appeared in the DesNews, does that lend it any more credence whatsoever? Since the DesNews is a thin wrapper for the mormon church's PR, could it be that allowing him to write that article is a sign of the state of negotiations? Or is it just another of his stupid Milagros-has-great-ribs articles and other tripe he writes? I'm probably reading way too much into it, but I just can't shake the thought that maybe when "BYU will be in the Big 12" appears in the DesNews/mormon church PR, it means just a little bit more that just speculation on the part of the author.
      It means nothing. Dick said he had no inside sources to base his opinion on. Just his gut.

            Of course. If I didn't live in spiritual blackness, I would have already understood the truth of that statement.
