      And it is on the lowest tier right now. Which is more than I can say for Versus.

        rumor is 1.5 million a year from espn. Can anyone confirm? or is it 1.5 a game?

          My biggest concern moving forward is the bowl tie in. The 2011 and 2012 schedules will be a little lean on talented foes, but tolerable. I wonder if every mountain west team will refuse to schedule us for a while. I would love to continue playing Air Force. I assume we will be picking up Army and Navy often as well.

            Well from the TV part of the deal I was dead wrong, I thought we'd be playing a couple of midweek games a season. I think this is looking like we will be Indy Cougs for a few years, but we have a better platform than many conferences.

            I hope the scheduling gets worked out.

            ESPN3 is just a internet TV station anyway, right? I just remember that I didn't have ESPNU in HD, but i think that has changed...

              Link? 1.5 a year would be garbage...

                Is this a Ute rumor or are you hearing this from a legit source? 1.5 a year?

                  ESPN's Brown said deal will not mean BYU will play any Tuesday or Wednesday football games. Said some on Thursday Friday, most on Sat.

                    Could be true, who knows. Think about Holmoe saying "Money wasn't why we did this", and maybe that is a hint.....

                      I don't think its legit that is why I am asking here where people are more in tune. If its 1.5 a game that is 9 million a year. That is pretty good.

                        Thursday night has actually become a huge night for college football. There are some really good teams playing that night. IMO Thursday night games are a really good thing.

                          1.5 a game would be great. I expect the contract to be an annual number and not a dollar amount per game. Aren't games on ESPN and ABC worth more to them than those on ESPN2 or ESPNU?

                            Yep, things have changed significantly since ESPN offered thursday's to the MWC that ill fated day 5(6?) years ago.

                              Dr. Chris Hill speaks out:

                              "I have known Dr. Samuelson for a long time and I am sure that he and Tom Holmoe are doing what is in the best interest of Brigham Young University and its mission. We wish them the best of luck and look forward to continuing our longstanding relationship with them. I fully anticipate that ours will continue to be one of the nation's great athletic rivalries."
                              I endorse this statement. Thought you all should know.

                                CJ is claiming 1.5 a game in WCC poll thread. I suspect that any rumors you are hearing are originating from CB or UF.N.
