ESPN is leery of profit margin. How is that different from a potential B12N you might ask [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] ‏@theDudeofWV [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/712263532214145024']6h6 hours ago[/URL] B12N - by way of LHN - already has distribution. The low, low price of LHN outside of Texas means any B12N erases ESPN's annual LHN loss.

You do the math.

Boren has been particularly quiet lately. Hopefully he's making amends. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] ‏@theDudeofWV [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/712264290154188800']6h6 hours ago[/URL] Some question about that $45M payment to the ACC if ESPN passes on ACCN. Is it an annual payment or a one time thing? [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] ‏@theDudeofWV [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/712264368910680064']6h6 hours ago[/URL] Only two people know: Swofford and Skipper but we are likely to find out soon. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]hristopher Lambert[/B] ‏@theDudeofWV [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/712264608095014912']6h6 hours ago[/URL] As a reminder the Big 12 received a one time $60M bonus for signing the GoR. Fox and ESPN each paid $30M. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] ‏@theDudeofWV [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/712265077139832834']6h6 hours ago[/URL] You have to think that, if the Texas-OU issues can be resolved, the Big 12 is a very good position in terms of a network. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] ‏@theDudeofWV [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/712265270895706112']6h6 hours ago[/URL] We might even see a network without expansion. What if that's the price (that & $15M annually) that Texas sets for giving up LHN? [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] ‏@theDudeofWV [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/712265364625817600']6h6 hours ago[/URL] Do OU, WVU and the rest of the Big 12 take that deal? Do they even have a choice? [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] ‏@theDudeofWV [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/712265688388395008']6h6 hours ago[/URL] Just some things to think about as the ides of may approach (I made up the ides of may --- its really the ides of march). [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] ‏@theDudeofWV [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/712265979229827072']6h6 hours ago[/URL] What if Texas agrees to expansion but only with football only members. Does the Big 12 take that deal? [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] ‏@theDudeofWV [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/712266325733810176']6h6 hours ago[/URL] I'm very interested to find out if the rumored $45M payment to the ACC is a one time payment or money that's added annually. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] ‏@theDudeofWV [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/712266467283177472']6h6 hours ago[/URL] I seem to recall an article that came out when the ACC first signed the GoR that it was a one time payment. But I didn't archive the story. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] ‏@theDudeofWV [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/712271010045796353']5h5 hours ago[/URL] For the record I do not know if the ACC payment is a one time or recurring thing. But I'm eager to find out.

Says he & Bowlsby are close.
