Never a fan of these "conference networks" but if one was going to work - it is the Pac-12 - because they have a long history of watching support - these little sports - like LSU follows baseball - Pac-12 follows other not only that but other so called bullshite sports like water polo, track and field and volleyball.

The Pac 12 network is actually the one having the most trouble right now. They took on a lot of expense and risk by building it on their own, plus they don't have a huge force like Fox for the Big1G and the ultimate force of ESPN/Disney for the SEC network negotiating carriage for them. Their model of a national and regional networks sounds great until you realize that live sports is whats going to drive the bus in profit for these networks, and the Pac may have over extended itself with what amounts to 7 networks that they have to provide content for. They are out there on an island which protects them in some ways, but they have all kinds of trouble with ratings east of the Rockies and especially east of the Mississippi where most of the country's population is located, that's why they desperately want into the central time zone.
