IRVING, Texas <\/em>– When BYU joins the Big 12 in 2023, they will be part of a new television package.<\/p>\n

In 2010, BYU declared its football independence, creating a space for its home football games to air on ESPN and BYUtv. That will soon change.<\/p>\n

To wrap up day two of the Big 12’s Spring Business Meetings at the Four Seasons, Bowlsby was asked how BYU’s TV deal would work within the league’s TV contract that includes ESPN and FOX as partners.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have told us that they intend to defer to us,\u201d Bowlsby said. \u201cI think eventually we’ll roll their ESPN package into the Big 12 package. We haven’t had those discussions yet, but we will. We’ve had them with BYU, but we haven’t with ESPN. We’ll have those. It really is not very material, one way or the other. “<\/p>\n

BYU’s ESPN contract runs through the 2026 college football season. The Big 12 Conference’s current tv deal expires after the 2024-25 academic year.<\/p>\n
