Got some more info on possible B12 network.

It is indeed a conversion of LHN but it won't happen all at once

Espn looking to possibly buy out certain T3 contracts that have a lot log years left on them but that could take time

[URL='https://twitter.com/'][B]MHver3[/B]@MHver3   [/URL]  ·  [URL='https://twitter.com/                                          /status/525695388725313536']4h 4 hours ago [/URL]
Some of the contracts are coming to an end soon and those will be the first to join LHN

[URL='https://twitter.com/'][B]MHver3[/B]@MHver3   [/URL]  ·  [URL='https://twitter.com/                                          /status/525695584494444545']4h 4 hours ago [/URL]
LHN may still be branded as LHN until at least half the conference is signed on

But there is a news for more inventory and now espn is wanting B12 to add a couple of teams fairly soon and go to 8 conference games

Espn willing to restructure B12 contract to include some Tier2 on the network and up the $ as well

The network would involve an unequal revenue sharing model for the first contract period.

[URL='https://twitter.com/carnot3']@[B]carnot3[/B][/URL] it wasn't nonsense. Both ACC and B12 are vulnerable. One could fall

BYU and UC are the 2 names I've heard that espn has bandied about.

LHN won't go away and UT still gets their cut-eventually the Network would split and Be a companion network to B12N

Florida market important to any conference network but espn realizes B12 can't water down the product too much. Wait and see approach

Aresco knows UC could be an option for B12 soon and is scrambling to find a potential replacement.

BYU could potentially be a partial member-3 sports-and no Sunday play would be honored

[URL='https://twitter.com/']@[B]MHver3[/B][/URL] UCF a better product than Cincy. More potential, too.

[URL='https://twitter.com/carnot3']@[B]carnot3[/B][/URL] not arguing but with the future so uncertain could have better opportunity in that state in next 2-3 years.

[URL='https://twitter.com/carnot3']@[B]carnot3[/B][/URL] true but they are a national-if not worldwide-brand. Also would be a partial member

If espn can buy out all B12 T3 and increase footprint then projections are $15-$20 mil per team within 5-7 years

BYU as a partial member means they wouldn't get a full share but what they get would be more than now.

You'd be splitting it in 11 1/2 shares and with the addition of a CCG it could net current members an additional 3-4 million on T1&2

BYU budget for athletics is allegedly over $100 million per year. They aren't hurting for cash

[URL='https://twitter.com/']@[B]MHver3[/B][/URL] doubt it. Probably closer to 65-70M.

[URL='https://twitter.com/taylorgpierce']@[B]taylorgpierce[/B][/URL] the figure they shared with the B12 was over $100m.

[URL='https://twitter.com/']@[B]MHver3[/B][/URL] Back in 2012 they reported $55M to the dept of education. Maybe a couple unreported items, but big leap to $100M+ in a couple yrs.

ME: [/B]Translations: ESPN knows that it will not bid high on the next Big 10 package but, instead, concentrate on improving the exposure for the Big 12 and ACC. Future trends point them that way. B12 might take BYU and Cincy for the first round, then hope that they can lure in FSU and Miami. ACC would replace them with UCF and USF and then offer UConn a ND-type deal. Big 10 won't offer UConn because they'd be paid handsomely by Fox, NBC or CBS.

Then again, none of those yahoos are ever reliable.
