That doesn't answer my question. With media changing so rapidly, Texas made a perfectly acceptable decision to try this out, and Alabama would have as well.
Some media decisions work out well, and some don't. It's still too early to tell the long term impact of the LHN. I certainly don't think it is going to be significant for Texas. And maybe not even the Big12. No doubt it will be used as justification for decisions that schools make. That's the way business works.

Sure, if there was no harm to the conference as a whole and we were guaranteed a large check regardless of performance and it didn't screw anything else up for our department then sure.
But if the network made us money but destroyed our league and long term hurt us and our programs then no, I don't think we'd do it. I don't know if LHN will do that to Texas or not.

The original purpose of the Longhorn Network was as a recruiting tool taking advantage of the fact that the UIL operates out of Belmont. Dan Brown even stated as much. When the NCAA stepped in, the viability of the network diminished. To say otherwise is arrogantly dishonest...in other words sip-like.

It's not too early to tell the immediate impacts. You have President from another University in your conference openly calling it toxic. It's setting the Big 12 Conference behind in revenue. Y'all are the dumbest smart kids I know.
