With the recent announcement of the kick-off time and TV details of the Boise State game, BYU Football’s regular appearances on national television networks continue. Watching Cougar games on the likes of ABC, FOX, NBC, CBS, ESPN, or ESPN2 most weeks has become a foregone conclusion.
In BYU’s seven seasons of Independence the Cougars have appeared on one of the aforementioned channels a total of 47 times. That’s an average of nearly seven regular season contests each year.
This is a stark contrast to the previous seven seasons while BYU played in the Mountain West Conference. During this time period, Cougar fans were only able to see 10 games on these networks.
