Message: [QUOTE="kyleslamb, post: 1488888, member: 2505"] I think UConn is a better choice, but I don't think it's a very wide difference. Further, you have to remember that those 350,000 households in New York DMA you speak of are currently already on expanded basic with the Big Ten Network, now, so UConn wouldn't be bringing those as new households to the footprint. They can certainly be leveraged for a higher rate, so it undoubtedly adds value, but the Big Ten is now already on in most of those homes. I prefer Connecticut to Kansas as a Big Ten guy. I don't think there's as much of a difference as you're suggesting, though. I also don't think we should assume Oklahoma would come without another Big 12 mate. Having Nebraska already there helps, but Kansas coming along would greatly enhance the possibility of landing Oklahoma. That is very germane to the discussion. [/QUOTE]
