Nebraska wasn't looking into it's own network so it could strong arm the conference members in moving conference games on it to make it succeed nor would they have had the backing of the monopoly network player in CFB to help it do so.

I'm sure Nebraska had purely benevolent reasons for starting their own network.

Nor would it have likely been in the business of publicizing high-school recruits games.

Because no one is interested in Nebraska high school football.

Texas fans act like everyone out there operates like Texas, they don't. Not every school believes they can or should constantly sh*t where they sleep for short term maximizing of dollars at the expense of everyone that is forced to associate with them.

If Nebraska had been offered the same $300 million deal by ESPN, you are saying they would have turned it down?

If the big 12 problems were solely a Nebraska problem, you wouldn't be seeing this come up again a week after Nebraska is gone and roar into another rumor firestorm within a month.

The LHN didn't exist when Nebraska was in the league. It is funny to hear A&M cry about fairness and equality among conference members when last summer they agreed to a new Big 12 revenue sharing model where A&M is guaranteed more TV revenue $ than 70% of the teams in the Big 12.

You are a broken record of the same misinformation. That statement isn't true. A&M is pissed that UTa is trying to show HS recruits game on the LHN and that they are trying to show conference games on the LHN. It was agreed that HS games and conference games would not be shown. And you arrogant asshats are trying to do it anyway. You have 2 options, don't show it (which will breach the LHN contract you signed knowing it was agreed upon to not do) or show the games and watch A&M and the SEC get rich together. I've heard a 14 team SEC would get nearly double what teams are currently getting. Lord I hope that's true
