Commissioner Craig Thompson of the Mountain West Conference Breaks His Silence on the CSTV Non Deal
Written by: John
The tribune has a bunch of quotes from MWC Commissioner Craig Thompson talking about the CSTV/Comcast negotiations with satellite providers.
“I absolutely sympathize” with college football fans who cannot see the league’s new television network because it is not available on satellite broadcast services like DirecTV and Dish Network. “Because I’m one of them,” he said.
“I don’t know,” he said. “I’m not going to put a timeline” on it.
“Yes, it’s frustrating,” Thompson said.
“The negotiations are vigorous,” Thompson said. “They are ongoing, they are active and both sides are working tirelesly” to put a deal together.
Tell you what MWC. Give me a video feed of the game and rights to broadcast the game and I’ll make sure anyone with a high speed line gets access to the games. All it costs you is giving me the video feed. I’ll take care of the rest. P2P technology is coming a long way.
I still wish someone would comment on the yanking of BYUTV replaying the game.
