Obviously the LHN gives UT a ton of revenue but, schools like Kansas, Oklahoma & even West Virginia have recently signed very large Tier 3 deals. These Tier 3 deals plus the $25MM they get from their Tier 1 & 2 network deal pays most of the B12 schools over $30MM per year. When you compare that to the $19MM the ACC schools get for all Tier 1, 2 & 3 rights it represents a significant delta in revenue. The ACC is #5 in revenue & is well behind the others. More importantly, it is primarily surrounded by the SEC & the B1G who are going to pay more than double to it's member schools when the B1G deal gets done in a couple years. Regardless of whether "cable goes away" or not (which it will most likely not, however there is a chance there will be some un-bundling) individual schools are not going to own their own content. It will still be owned by a conference. How the content gets viewed will likely change but, it will never be free. At the end of the day, the ACC schools will receive much less than the schools they are competing with. In the new NCAA P5 world that will allow for insurance payments, scholarships for life, stipends etc. this is a huge hurdle for them. [/QUOTE]
