I ask because there's talk about a football deal with ESPN (which makes sense) but also references to BYU-TV, which I'm assuming must be for all other sports but I'm failing to see how that's anything other than a rather expensive vanity proposition if there are no sponsors.

I think for the sports games there are. If I remember correctly I have seen them...BYU does have a state of the art broadcasting center with their own HD truck. So I think they sell local advertising for games they broadcast on it.
