We will enjoy more total tv money in five years time, we are fine. You enjoy a home schedule not worth a shite, and a Thanksgiving game not worth a shite (according to ratings).

We left because y'all lied about how many games were on the LHN. When the contract went public and it was for up to three games instead the one we agreed on for Tier 3 we started packing our bags. The fact that ESPN traded a few Tier 1 slots to help the LHN confirmed our decision. As you imply the Big 12 exists to please Texas. frick that.

Total, utter lie. Nebraska had three (maybe more) PPV games (tantamount to its own network) in 2008. Not a single expletive was uttered.

It would seem that being relegated to a pay-per-view telecast would be college football's version of playing in Siberia. Less attention compared to national games on the major networks seemingly would make this an unattractive solution.

But excitement about the arrival of new Nebraska coach Bo Pelini is helping to disprove that line of thinking. The Omaha World-Herald reported that Nebraska notched impressive pay-per-view numbers in its first three telecasts, helping the school make more money than if those games had been carried by a national television network.

School officials estimate that Nebraska's first three games have generated more than $1 million in their telecasts produced in cooperation with Fox Sports Network.
