TNT Sports and Mountain West Reach Multi-Year College Football Agreement Beginning This Season

So I have no idea if this will do anything to the existing TV contract. Technically turner is a part of CBS, or more accurately the other way around. The article has no mention of any changes in terms of compensation with this deal.

Also worth noting, there will be zero UNLV games this season with these networks.

I would imagine that could/should increase payouts. Would we offer these games up for free? Or is it just an extension of the CBS contract? Unknown.

I was wondering about that also. You would think that it would add to the overall amount of money coming into the conference, so then it would be added to the pot that gets divided between the whole conference.

It is interesting that UNLV, Boise State and Hawaii are the only teams not playing on the TNT network. Says a lot about the popularity of UNLV football this coming year!

I think that most of UNLV games already been picked up by other networks. TNT just came late this year.

They mostly favor SJSU and NM as they weren't getting much air time with the current MWC media partners. TruTV will at least pick them up otherwise they may have been destined for the MWNetwork. SDSU will also get picked up by TruTV vs Texas A & M - Commerce. It's just their third year as division 1. I wouldn't expect much revenue from this programming.

I'm guessing the Utah Tech game is our only game not on a regular network?

Can't believe someone wouldn't want to pick up the Rebels vs Trailblazers and pursue the "used to be Rebels" story line.

You are correct it's on Silver State Sports & Entertainment Network. Which might be carried by YouTube TV in Vegas or Channel 5.

CBSSN - Can't Be Seen Sports Network - is always on a more expensive tier and I decided a couple years ago to stop paying extra for it.

With CBS’s parent company, Paramount Global being sold to Skydance; there is a good chance that CBS networks, including CBS sports gets spun off to other companies. I could see any of the other media giants absorbing the network.

What gets priority on TNT a MWC FB game that no one cares about that goes long or a Law and Order episode that is scheduled to start. Could be Heidi all over again.
