[B]Mountaineer Steve ‏@Mountaineer_Ste[/B] · 18h18 hours ago @theDudeofWV I thought the last thing you said was expansion was dead [B]Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV[/B] · 18h18 hours ago @Mountaineer_Ste On life support. I meant about the B12N. [B]Mountaineer Steve ‏@Mountaineer_Ste[/B] · 6h6 hours ago @theDudeofWV Yea, B12 network died when the LHN came in to being. This will be a long term disadvantage between B12 and SEC, PAC, and BIG. [B]Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV[/B] @Mountaineer_Ste No. They are talking about one now. Inquiring about rights. [B]Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV [/B] · May 29 SEC & B1G folks crowing about besting B12 revenues. Big 12 doesn’t have a conf network padding numbers. [B]Hihoze ‏@hihoze[/B] · 7h7 hours ago @theDudeofWV Why doesn't B12 have a network? What happened to Longhorn Network? Is Netflix seriously interested in B12 network? [B]Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV[/B] · 7h7 hours ago @hihoze Why? LHN. One is coming. UT sees a LHN/B12 hybrid. Yes. Netflix is very interested. Would give B12 serious bank. C[B]hristopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV[/B] @hihoze The problem is that 4 B12 schools have serious T3 value: UT, OU, KU & WVU. The rest - not so great. [B]Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV[/B] · 7h7 hours ago @hihoze So how do you spread the wealth & keep those 4 happy. High school sports. Add Fl & another southern state. [B]Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV[/B] @Mountaineer_Ste There is a way to use LHN. [B]Mountaineer Steve ‏@Mountaineer_Ste[/B] · 6h6 hours ago @theDudeofWV Not sure what you are saying, are you saying LHN will or will not be morphed into B12 network? [B]Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV[/B] · 6h6 hours ago @Mountaineer_Ste Since UT is leading the push I suspect LHN will go away when the contract expires or morph. [B]Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV [/B] · 6h6 hours ago @Mountaineer_Ste But until then LHN could dual broadcast UT events with a B12N in exchange for more content -again dual broadcast on LHN. [B]Mountaineer Steve ‏@Mountaineer_Ste [/B] · 6h6 hours ago @theDudeofWV Did not realize UT is leading the chg. They are willing to give up 12-15 mill that the LHN brings to them? [B]Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV [/B] · 6h6 hours ago @Mountaineer_Ste B12N could not do a UT coach show but they could do a Big 12 coaches show involving UT. [B]Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV[/B] · 6h6 hours ago @Mountaineer_Ste Yea. If in exchange they get more $. Unlikely ESPN will renew LHN. No content. [B]Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV [/B] · 6h6 hours ago @Mountaineer_Ste Plus B12 expansion depends on a conf network to be profitable. [B]Mountaineer Steve ‏@Mountaineer_Ste[/B] · 6h6 hours ago @theDudeofWV Uneven pay is what almost pulled the B12 apart the last time. If it goes that direction again, B12 won't last, just my opine [B]Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV[/B] · 6h6 hours ago @Mountaineer_Ste It wouldn't be uneven. Dual broadcast. The profit comes Only with expansion. [B]Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV [/B] · 6h6 hours ago @Mountaineer_Ste I think LHN expires at same time as B12 contract. B12 could buy LHN from ESPN - at least the last 3 years. [B]Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV[/B] · 6h6 hours ago @Mountaineer_Ste Many options on the table made possible by Netflix/ESPN/Fox.
