PROVO — As BYU enters its ninth season of independence, athletic director Tom Holmoe, coach Kalani Sitake as well as various assistant coaches and players will field questions about the state of the football program at Media Day festivities Tuesday at the BYU Broadcasting Building.
Among the expected major topics of conversation — BYU’s contract status with ESPN and the health of quarterback Zach Wilson.
When the Cougars announced they were going independent in football in August 2010, they also announced an eight-year deal with ESPN to televise their home games.
At Media Day two years ago, Holmoe announced ESPN had exercised its option on the contract to extend broadcasting rights of BYU home football games through the 2019 campaign.
