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.

not sure on the commercials, but I read a good point on their proposed tv hope. If BYU schedules say a "name" program (Notre Dame, USC, Ohio State) that game will more than likely get picked up by ESPN anyhow the games that will be on BYU-TV will still be games no one wants to see (BYU vs XYZ University) so it's more about not having to share any revenue with others and all bowl game $.
