    How much would Pitt require in donations for Bickell to be able to call the first 10 plays of the game? How much to sleep with narduzzi's wife? I assume both of those options would be in play and now its just a matter of negotiating the final number.  Good lord Pitt.

    Just don't see UH making it in unless Kansas really wants them for basketball competition.

    Tech, bailor, and tcu don't want UH

     

    If true, then it's 1a. BYU, 1b. UCF, 2. Cincy and 3. Boise.

    Memphis is poop.

     

    AAC then scoops up FAU and / or Liberty.

     

    Mountain West then either just goes to a 11 team league or picks up either New Mexico St, UTEP, or UTSA off the trash heap. My $ is staying put w/ one less mouth to feed.

     

    Divisions:

    West:

    Boise St

    BYU

    Tech

    Baylor

    TCU

    Okie St.

    East:

    Kansas

    K state

    Iowa St

    WVU

    Cincy

    UCF

    All conference networks suck, with the exception of live sports programming. LHN just didn't have enough content, even with broadcasting secondary sports. ESPN didn't invest enough in compelling documentaries, either, IMO.

    Losing broadcast rights to UIL competition also really hurt LHN. Thanks, aggy. Now it can't be broadcast on conference networks, either.

     

    I agree.

    If UIL sports were able to be broadcast on LHN, you could pack a lot of hours of content. 

    Then all those high schoolers, parents, and coaches watching games like Lake Travis vs. West Lake every year would get bombarded w/ Longhorn propaganda.

    You'd also be able to do the same stuff in all other sports I'd imagine. UIL volleyball, the State Relays, basketball, etc.

    And this was part of ESPN's calculus IMO on giving us a network. Well, it was mostly to prevent the Big12 from dying and us going to the PAC16.... but someone had to see an untapped source of UIL content and think they'd be able to monetize that on the network.

     

    The ultimate deathblow to the network, however, was Mack killing himself in recruiting, hiring a position coach as a head coach, hiring a charlatan as an AD, having a temp AD hire a head football coach, and then said AD hiring a turtling MENSA member who enjoyed the aroma of his own farts over hiring a Power 5 level staff and making in game adjustments.

    This leads me to believe he thinks that he has a post-expansion media rights buyer who is not Disney.  Maybe he does.  If someone like CBS wants into the college athletics space for their streaming app, they could probably pick up the Big 12 v.4 at a discount and get some relatively good return on that.  


    They do need more than Paw patrol and bing bang theory…..
