I don't know. I think there is much uncertainty in all of the

conference network deals. Texas has a roughly $10 million base guarantee from ESPN and a profit sharing deal above that mark. I'm saying cord cutting endangers the notion that they will ever get to the profit sharing level. [SECN, FWIW, does not have a base guarantee; it is all profit sharing]

If ACCN gets to the $10 million per school level (not a given by any means), then I think Texas will have something to think about...or if ESPN carries the $10 million guaranteed base over if Texas joins the ACC.

If the power conferences decide to form their own division level -- VTHokie2000 04/05/2017 12:34PM

Very interesting...it would be a huge market for the PAC to grab! -- Stech 04/04/2017 7:04PM

Bevo is vulnerable to the same cord cutting exercise as everyone else. ND -- daveinop 04/05/2017 12:22PM

Can the conference networks get 12 to 16 times that guarantee though? -- Late 80s Hokie 04/05/2017 12:47PM

Yep. Seeing a photo like that, it's pretty good odds they discussed it -- HOO86 04/04/2017 9:07PM

UNR will not happen....It effectively brings nothing to the table. ** -- CrystalCoveHokie 04/04/2017 9:49PM

They bring a state with same population as Utah. -- HOO86 04/05/2017 11:56AM

Here is why I don't see UNR in the PAC.. -- CrystalCoveHokie 04/05/2017 1:43PM
