When the LHN started with the plans to broadcast high school games, A&M called bullshite, had had enough, and called the SEC back.
All they had to do was simply call it the Lone Star network where they show UT A&M and other Tx college games along with HS FB.
That makes too much sense though and UT is greedy.

This is exactly what we proposed to A&M a couple years earlier. They said no. We also proposed a Big 12 network. Also rejected.
What else were we gonna do?

The secret was that the LHN was going to air selected Texas HS FB games to highlight Texas football commits. It was designed to be an unfair recruiting advantage. The head of the network let that slip in an interview prior to its launch. So once that got out, the heat came, and they had to bag the idea.
So no, renaming it was not that simple when there was more going on behind the scenes.
