By the time rolls around, I think Direct TV. will carry it. Too much money at stake!
Truthfully, they would probably be better off not picking up the network. According to reports, ESPN wants $1.30 per sub in region. Not sure what out of region per sub is. But, let's say DirecTV agrees to put it in their choice package. That's more than 20 million subs. And ESPN agrees to $0.90 per sub since it will be in a package nationwide. That's 18 million a month. If they don't carry it let's say 50,000 subs leave for not having the channel. At approximately $70 a month per sub is 3.5 million. Even if they lost 100,000 subs, which is highly unlikely, they would still be better off not carrying the channel. So not carrying the channel isn't going to hurt their bottom line. Actually might help in you really think about it.
But, having said all that, I hope DirecTV carries the channel and believe they will. This isn't the Pac-12 Network. The SEC Network needs to be carried in my opinion.

That is funny because the BTN website says BTN is currently available to up to 73 million homes. They don't bother to say what fraction of those actually subscribe.

Unless they do what? And how is the B1G fricked? You guys aren't making any sense at all. What is it with you guys and all the SEC vs. everyone else? These networks aren't competing with each other. Actually, all this means our satellite/cable bills are going up with all these niche networks. It's bad for the consumers.

They did so by partnering with ESPN. The day the network launches, it will already be in more homes than BTN.
How do you figure that? You are just talking out of your arse and have no facts to back that up. BTN is available in around 90 million homes. Of that number, I believe around 70 million subscribe to the channel. The SEC Network won't have that many subscribers right off.

That is just wrong.
The B1G has half of the risks. That is the reason Rutgers gets a smaller payout early on- they have to basically buy their part of the 49% (Maryland does too they are just basically financing it over a long period because they are poor right now).
The SEC doesn't have to buy shite. The SEC can just sit back and collect paychecks even if the network is not a success.
That is called leading, not copying.
I don't know where you are getting your info but the Big Ten didn't/doesn't put up any money on the production side of things. That's all Fox that does that. And the SEC is copying, just as the Pac-12 did and ACC want to in starting their own conference network.

One thing from a football scheduling standpoint to pay attention to is Tennessee's scheduled 2016 contest with Nebraska. With the Big Ten's decision earlier this week to split into eastern and western divisions and play nine league games, that leaves the 'Huskers with one game too many in '16, and discussions have begun about what, if any, impact that will have on the scheduled series with the Vols.
This is from our rivals site.
I don't buy in to that at all. I have heard nor read anything regarding this. Also, it makes no sense because in 2016 Nebraska plays Tennessee at home and that is the first year of the 9 game conference schedule. That year Nebraska will have only four home conference games. They already have 3 home non conference games, including Tennessee so there will be no need to cancel the series. The next season, 2017, when they go to Tennessee to play, they will have 5 home conference games so they will make 7 home games that season, too. This series will go on as planned.

So ESPN carries ALL the risk of getting the network going, but the SEC conference splits the upside 50-50.
Take that B1G.
Take that B1G? The Big Ten owns 49% of the network. Was originally 51%. So the SEC is getting 1% more for their network. I don't see the huge difference. Also, the Big Ten conference doesn't have any risk just as the SEC does. I'm not sure how that is something in the Big Ten's face. And if in that case, how about the SEC think differently instead of copying the B1G. :)

Where are you reading or hearing this? I have seen nothing regarding canceling this game. Nebraska plays Tennessee at home in 2016. That season Nebraska will play 5 conference games on the road and four at home so it doesn't make sense to cancel the series. There are already 3 home non conference games scheduled that season so four conference games will make 7 total home games that year. In 2017 when Nebraska goes to Tennessee to play they will have 5 home conference games.

It's going to be a great thing. Now, every game will be available nationwide no matter where you live instead of being regional as games where on FSN and CSS.

That's good for the SEC. ESPN is on the line for all the money that is needed to start the channel. The SEC just gets paid, and get a lot of money because of this channel, without having to put anything up front.

This might be a dumb question...but it's important to me. Will I be able to go to my favorite little secluded bar and watch Alabama and the rest of the SEC games or will they have to buy something else to get the channel? I live in central Florida if that means anything.
All depends on the MSO that your bar has and what kind of deal that work out on distribution. Do you know which provider your bar has for TV?

So basically for LSU fans wanting to watch baseball games, will we be seeing more or less games?
We won't know until later next year. Could be more will air but could be that the majority air on ESPN3 and not on the SECN. More details will come out later next year.

And to all thinking that ESPN will sub-license some games to other networks that's not going to happen. Any games that fall beyond selection from CBS and ESPN will be property of the SEC Network. Rather or not they choose to air it on the network or on ESPN3 is their choice but that's all any games will air on.
All football and men's basketball games will air live on CBS, ESPN or SECN. There will be overflow channels for multiple football games going on at the same time.

PAC-12 already discussing going back to 8
I think you are getting confused with the B1G. They back tracked from that recently.
No, he's right. The Big Ten will be going to 9 conference games starting in 2016. The Pac-12 is discussing going from 9 conference games to 8 conference games.

Hopefully it's not a night game. Kyle Field goes fricking nuts at night. It's probably, in my opinion, one of if not the loudest stadium I have ever been to and I've been to quite a few. :)

That's with every PAC-12 team. That conference stinks. It's all SEC and no other conference is even close. And this is coming from a Big Ten fan! :)

I would recommend Fumblebrewski on North Market. It's about a quarter mile off of I-220. Right past Brookshires next to Walgreens.
