UT>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> tech > >>> ATM
I can understand the persception that Texas >> A&M but in what world has anyone ever put Tech in front of A&M ... ESPECIALLY when we are talking about TV markets?
Yeah ... Tech has Lubbock on lock down ... very scary there.

It would fail just as horribly as LHN did to be honest. There just isn't enough content to make a one school network worthwhile.

Wouldnt they have to share the revenue anyway?

I don't think so, we don't share the $10 mil/year from SunSports.

Gotcha, guess not

Wasn't there also a stretch where Texas Tech hadn't beaten A&M in any single sport for like 2 years?

I'm coming around though, Tamu is closer to UT than I give them credit for.

Oh no you fricking don't!
You take that back--I need someone to argue with on here, dammit!

I think they should be content with who they are instead of comparing themselves to UT so much.
Agreed

A&M actually had a stretch of over 1000 days where they had scoreboard on Tech in all 17 sports we played them in. They managed to eek out a win in Tennis last Spring that broke the string but we of course owned them in the remaining sports. Saying Tech is superior to A&M is like saying South Florida is better than Florida State or UAB is better than Auburn. It's just stupid and can't be supported by anything.
A&M and Texas will always compete in some ways, can't help that. It's less now than ever before though and every year we are in the SEC we will drift farther apart from each other.
As to the OP, single school networks simply don't work. There is not enough content nor enough fans of a single school to make it viable. The future is conference networks that spread over many states and have well over 10x the content without it being a fapfest for one school. The SEC Network will print money once it is launched.
