My point is that they should have kept their options open

so that at a minimum they had some leverage over ESPN. At the end of the day, ESPN is the best route, but you have to have some negotiating leverage and be prepared to use it.

For all the problems it causes, nobody watches the Longhorn Network -- PadrosWindup 09/12/2017 11:09PM

Believe it or not there is an IA State network -- Vienna_Hokie 09/22/2017 2:00PM

Exactly, whom ever convinced giving Texas a channel -- Maroon Doom 09/18/2017 12:26PM

When UT won the MNC a nearly psychotic infatuation with UT started -- Vienna_Hokie 09/22/2017 2:34PM

ACC was dumb enough to put all their eggs in one basket ** -- 133193Hokie 09/17/2017 6:42PM

How Deloss Dodds convinced ESPN that Texas could fill -- PadrosWindup 09/17/2017 5:12PM

ESPN was too busy insulting the ACC to give us a channel. ** -- EDGEMAN 09/17/2017 4:32PM

Yes that definitely rankles. ** -- dallasvt 09/17/2017 12:52AM

Except all the folks in Texas. If Texas starts winning they may rival ND in -- Ray 09/15/2017 1:22PM

Totally different situation. NBC has full access to ND home football. -- seekoHoG 09/18/2017 11:32AM

Lhn only gets two UTex football games -- PadrosWindup 09/16/2017 2:47PM

Texas splits with A&M, TCU and Baylor etc. ND is national with many -- Stech 09/15/2017 7:56PM

Greatest threat to keeping the B12 intact -- EDGEMAN 09/13/2017 11:26AM
