The Group of Five Conferences, TV Rights & Their Convergence in 2019-20

The extension is through 2019...short term....

But BYU is smiling....


Holmoe also announced that BYU will be in a bowl game should it become bowl eligible as part of its agreement with ESPN.

Holmoe noted that while BYU was tied into specific bowl games for several years since becoming independent, it did not have one for 2017.

"When we became independent, one of the big questions was how are you going to play in a bowl game if you're not affiliated with a conference. They assured us contractually that they would get us a game," Holmoe said.
 
They just bought the AAC's Bowl, so I suspect we may bear the brunt of this promise.

Is ESPN is disincentivizing BYU form joining the Big 12, so that they can undervalue the Big 12 conference media deal?
