The LHN deal isn't a media rights deal.
Ha! You are a special kind of delusional, Randy.
Somebody go find those posts with Randy talking about how much financially worse off A&M was going to be in the SEC than the Big 12.

Do you not understand third tier rights and capitalism
With a conference network third tier rights are bundled and sold together as a conference so lesser known programs are awarded and big programs are punished
Universities that hold onto their third tier rights can sell them on an open market like what UT did
This upsets ESPN because UT is an important and well known university and could command big money on an open market
What does ESPN do because of this?
They tried to damage UT so once the LHN contract ends UT would be forced into a conference that ESPN controls. Some of these conferences are being screwed by ESPN and even if they add UT cannot open negotiations for a new contract.
