Great week for BYU football–and I say that without even knowing the results of our Saturday game against Jake Locker and the Wash. Huskies. We’re free of the Mountain West conference, its garbage TV “network,” and the sulfuric stench of commissioner Craig Thompson.
And I just might be done having to Slingbox games from California so I can watch them in NYC.
The best part of the deal is that it cements ESPN as BYU’s best friend for the next 8 years. That is absolutely huge. They’re going to broadcast BYU home games and help with scheduling, and if you know anything about college football, you know that ESPN holds ALL the cards. Really, all of them. ESPN is The House, and BYU gets to play with The House’s money for the next eight years.
