Provo • If tradition holds, BYU will make some sort of a headline-grabbing announcement at its Football Media Day next week. Could it be new contracts with sports broadcasting giant ESPN?
The two separate contracts — one for bowl placement and the other for the broadcasting of up to five BYU football home games per year — both expire at the conclusion of the 2019 season.
The bowl contract ends when BYU plays in the ESPN-owned Hawaii Bowl on Dec. 24 (if it is bowl eligible and not selected to play in a New Year’s Six game or the College Football Playoffs).
