Without us, there is no SEC Network. Period.
Not only would we have renegotiated the Network would have existed with or without you. Hell, if your argument was that we needed an expanded footprint (which we didn't) we could've picked Baylor, TCU, etc. or gotten into North Carolina, Virginia, and the DC area among other regions.
Again, you helped make the launch more profitable and expanded the launch but don't act like you're Texas and this is the LHN. The world doesn't revolve around you.

If you mean you could have expanded with someone else, sure. Any expansion triggers a look in. But that was needed, no way ESPN redoes a great deal for them with a decade left on it for the frick of it.
But a TCU or a Baylor wouldn't have gotten full rates in Texas. You needed a major fan base to force the hands of cable providers in the state to carry it year one.
I do 100% agree it doesn't revolve around us. This is the SEC brand you built monetized through our population. It is what you call a good partnership and both needs the other.
We certainly contributed enough for me to talk shite about it to fellow Texans though. I hope you will at least see reason to grant us that much.

You are a dumbass if you think adding Baylor or TCU in place of TAMU would have produced the same results.
tu, yes, but not a small private school(s).
