I assume you mean Big 12 Network. Every single team in the country would have taken the deal we got from ESPN.

ESPN did it for 1 reason. It was a poison pill to stop realignment. They didn’t want to lose Texas to the PAC and Fox. It was much cheaper to pay Texas $15 million than to have to bid for the whole PAC deal.

In addition, it gave them leverage for when Texas was ready to move. This allowed them time to determine how it was going to go down.

Blame Texas all you want, but the mouse controlled the whole thing.. not Texas.




I was wrong in the sense that I meant the longhorn network. How much has to happen before you realize that the problem is you?

Ahh yes that mean ol' longhorn network. For the SEC fans out there. ask an Aggie which schools voted in favor of the right to have their own network. Good luck getting ag to admit they did.. but they did.
What's even more hilarious is that they like to claim that if ESPN had offered them the same network they would have said no. that one still makes me laugh
