Not in the B1G Network revenue model


There are plenty of B1G alumni that live in the Dallas market and there are plenty of Oklahoma alumni in Dallas as well. That will lead to an increase in people paying for the network.

There are more B1G alumni that live in Phoenix than Pac 12 alumni. Thus, the move for the B1G to have Arizona State move to the B1G for hockey.

You are going to see the B1G to continue to "eat up" all of these smaller revenue sports and that will eventually allow for the B1G brand to spread nationally.

Also, Arizona State is one of the largest universities in the country, if not the largest.

It isn't likely that the B1G can pull Arizona State away from the Pac 12 for football, but if Arizona State started to play more B1G teams for non-conference play, the B1G is going to get a bigger brand push in the area and more revenue.

How? Seriously how?

Cable companies order the network, NOT end consumers. Tell me how getting OU gets you in-state rates in another state. I will give you a clue- it doesn't.

Again you are smarter than this. I know it.

Heck I wish you were right, I see OU in the SEC after T Boone dies and I hate it.
