Cable companies in Dallas already allow consumers to order the B1G Network. Just like how I pay for the SEC Network here in WI.

As part of a sports package.
You don't pay the SEC Network directly, you pay the cable company and the cable company pays ESPN. Just like with the B1G how much the cable company pays is determined by if a conference program is in that state. We are YEARS from Al a carte conference networks.
Maybe that is what you are saying though - in some future T Boone dies, the Big 12 GOR expires, and Congress forces Al a carte channels. They suddenly the value of your football programs matters more than your footprint. I can see that maybe happening, but shite that is a decade out at least.
