Message: [QUOTE="CoastAtlantic, post: 1590546, member: 5174"] [URL='https://twitter.com/'][B]MH ver3[/B]‏@MH ver3[/URL] My source had to keep it short so I didn't get a whole lot out of him tonight. [URL='https://twitter.com/'][B]MH ver3[/B]‏@MH ver3[/URL] Latest data shows adding a Florida school would be more financially beneficial for B12(duh) from a network pov [URL='https://twitter.com/'][B]MH ver3[/B]‏@MH ver3[/URL] But adding UC makes the most sense because B12 is going to gamble that more choice Fl schools will be available soon [URL='https://twitter.com/'][B]MH ver3[/B]‏@MH ver3[/URL] And if not then UCF and USF will still be there waiting [URL='https://twitter.com/'][B]MH ver3[/B]‏@MH ver3[/URL] But adding Uconn will give B12N a chance to be in over 11 million homes in 3 different states Doug@NebGradDubDub [URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3']@MH ver3[/URL] UCONN will only be a .60 fee in Connecticut. .10 outside of it [URL='https://twitter.com/'][B]MH ver3[/B]‏@MH ver3[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/NebGradDubDub']@NebGradDubDub[/URL] not going to argue about it but you're wrong. NYC will be included [URL='https://twitter.com/'][B]MH ver3[/B]‏@MH ver3[/URL] Adding UC doesn't add near as many homes in the direct DMA that UC is in but statewide penetration would be over 4 million homes [URL='https://twitter.com/'][B]MH ver3[/B]‏@MH ver3[/URL] At $.60 per home(a low-ball sub fee) per month, those 2 additions would net B12N $108m per year TigerJay@jay_256 There's nothing else. FYI, the only reason UT, TT, OU & OSU didn't go to Pac12 was Big 12 letting UT have LHN. [URL='https://twitter.com/hashtag/FACT?src=hash']#FACT[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/'][B]MH ver3[/B]‏@MH ver3[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/jay_256']@jay_256[/URL] wrong. ESPN and Fox and other factors were in play. LHN was a small part [URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3']TigerJay@jay_256 @MH ver3[/URL] None of the P5 conferences would allow Texas to have that kind of dictatorship over members which is why they stayed in Big 12. [URL='https://twitter.com/'][B]MH ver3[/B]‏@MH ver3[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/jay_256']@jay_256[/URL] Bingo. Not LHN. Power Jeremy@JeremyinSP [URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3']@MH ver3[/URL] when zero of those 4 millions homes give a rip about UCONN football (or any big 12 team), there may as well be 40 million homes [URL='https://twitter.com/'][B]MH ver3[/B]‏@MH ver3[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/JeremyinSP']@JeremyinSP[/URL] do you think all those homes in NY give a about Rutgers football? nathanmills@nathanmills [URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3']@MH ver3[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/JeremyinSP']@JeremyinSP[/URL] they care about Michigan, Ohio St., Penn St. etc. Do NY-area fans care as much for UT and OK? [URL='https://twitter.com/'][B]MH ver3[/B]‏@MH ver3[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/nathanmills']@nathanmills[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/JeremyinSP']@JeremyinSP[/URL] NY barely watches BTN but pays for it anyway Jeremy@JeremyinSP [URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3']@MH ver3[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/nathanmills']@nathanmills[/URL] good luck pushing a completely irrelevant big 12 network onto them. If you think the PAC 12/directv situation is bad... nathanmills@nathanmills [URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3']@MH ver3[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/JeremyinSP']@JeremyinSP[/URL] they don't care for UCONN, so that would have to be the draw of B12N in NY [URL='https://twitter.com/'][B]MH ver3[/B]‏@MH ver3[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/nathanmills']@nathanmills[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/JeremyinSP']@JeremyinSP[/URL] but they do care for Uconn basketball. Jeremy@JeremyinSP [URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3']@MH ver3[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/nathanmills']@nathanmills[/URL] apparently not more than Rutgers, RUTGERS(!), or they would have been the big 10's choice. Embarrassing really TigerJay@jay_256 Basketball has no pull in any expansion. Only football which is why UCONN makes zero sense. [URL='https://twitter.com/'][B]MH ver3[/B]‏@MH ver3[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/jay_256']@jay_256[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/nathanmills']@nathanmills[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/JeremyinSP']@JeremyinSP[/URL] bball has plenty of pull with a conference network. Especially when majority of your programming is bball Jeremy@JeremyinSP [URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3']@MH ver3[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/jay_256']@jay_256[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/nathanmills']@nathanmills[/URL] so it does with the big ten but not big 12? Big ten must be stupid then right? Rutgers over UCONN basketball?! [URL='https://twitter.com/'][B]MH ver3[/B]‏@MH ver3[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/JeremyinSP']@JeremyinSP[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/jay_256']@jay_256[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/nathanmills']@nathanmills[/URL] but they are still paying the sun fees negotiated by the networks [URL='https://twitter.com/'][B]MH ver3[/B]‏@MH ver3[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/JeremyinSP']@JeremyinSP[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/jay_256']@jay_256[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/nathanmills']@nathanmills[/URL] I'm not saying Rutgers wasn't the better choice. Just that both are irrelevant in fb [URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3']Jeremy@JeremyinSP @MHver3[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/jay_256']@jay_256[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/nathanmills']@nathanmills[/URL] that only works for New York teams I guess? Not LA, SF, PHOENIX, and Seattle teams? That didn't fly with pac12 Jeremy@JeremyinSP [URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3']@MH ver3[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/jay_256']@jay_256[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/nathanmills']@nathanmills[/URL] so obviously bball meant nothing to big 10. [URL='https://twitter.com/'][B]MH ver3[/B]‏@MH ver3[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/JeremyinSP']@JeremyinSP[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/jay_256']@jay_256[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/nathanmills']@nathanmills[/URL] they added Maryland [URL='https://twitter.com/'][B]MH ver3[/B]‏@MH ver3[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/JeremyinSP']@JeremyinSP[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/jay_256']@jay_256[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/nathanmills']@nathanmills[/URL] and they are after Duke/UNC/UVA. Hardly football powerhouses TigerJay@jay_256 Not football schools but are academic AU schools. Big difference. [URL='https://twitter.com/'][B]MH ver3[/B]‏@MH ver3[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/jay_256']@jay_256[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/JeremyinSP']@JeremyinSP[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/nathanmills']@nathanmills[/URL] so you think they would add Harvard and Yale? Jeremy@JeremyinSP [URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3']@MH ver3[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/jay_256']@jay_256[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/nathanmills']@nathanmills[/URL] they could have added UCONN but took freaking Rutgers. No way to explain that with your current arguments [URL='https://twitter.com/'][B]MH ver3[/B]‏@MH ver3[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/JeremyinSP']@JeremyinSP[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/jay_256']@jay_256[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/nathanmills']@nathanmills[/URL] and B12 will take Uconn. Just like ACC took a Louisville team that B12 passed on Jeremy@JeremyinSP [URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3']@MH ver3[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/jay_256']@jay_256[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/nathanmills']@nathanmills[/URL] maybe, but their reasoning is faulty. [URL='https://twitter.com/'][B]MH ver3[/B]‏@MH ver3[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/JeremyinSP']@JeremyinSP[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/jay_256']@jay_256[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/nathanmills']@nathanmills[/URL] if it's not ND or the Giants or the Jets, NY ain't watching it. TigerJay@jay_256 Big 12 was so desperate to not fold and gave into UT allowing them to pocket $$$ off of the LHN that ESPN created. [URL='https://twitter.com/'][B]MH ver3[/B]‏@MH ver3[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/jay_256']@jay_256[/URL] LHN was already created before TAMU and Mizzo left ME: You know how dire the CR situation is when MH ver3 has to defend the possible choice of UConn to his followers.
