NOTHING!!!!

quote:

Justin Connolly, ESPN's Sr. Vice President of college networks, told Hugh Kellenberger of the Jackson (Miss) Clarion-Ledger last week that the then-rumors of the deal wouldn't have much impact.

“Any proposed merger of that size will take a whole lot of working out from a regulatory standpoint, so I don't think the marketplace will change materially between now and then,” Connolly told Kellenberger.

As Clay Travis of FoxSports.com points out, AT&T's acquisition of DirecTV won't have an impact on ongoing carriage negotiations.

Merger won't be completed until long after @secnetwork debuts so this is still a @directv decision in meantime.

Y'all think if I call Dish they'll pay my contract termination fee to switch? Or at least discount my bill for the amount of the cancellation for a few months?

I'm still holding out hope DirecTv will pick up the SEC Network.

But, I'm an Arkansas fan, and it's probably best I don't have it this year.
