Message: [QUOTE="Charley Horse, post: 1704621, member: 6990"] Forgive me for being abstruse. I'll try to make it very clear. If you think the LHN was simply about ESPN foolishly overpaying one school for its content, then it it would be difficult for you to believe they would make the same blunder again (even on a much smaller scale) by paying OU more than they are already getting for their Tier 3 content. If, however, you understand that the LHN deal was really about ESPN keeping the Big 12 together and its most valuable content out of the hands of ESPN's competitors then you may begin to realize how much of a bargain it would be for ESPN to pay one school a few million more per year than to negotiate a deal big enough to pay two G5 schools P5 money - especially when you already own the content of those two schools.
