Message: [QUOTE="jostar1, post: 1706874, member: 1737"] [B]Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV[/B] · 5h5 hours ago B12 will not vote to expand next Saturday but they might decide to winnow down the candidates to 2. [B]Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV [/B] · 5h5 hours ago Texas is open to the BHV report but the assumption of an $6-8m threshold for viability appears valid. Timeframe to threshold is a factor. [B]Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV [/B] · 5h5 hours ago Most media saying ESPN isn't interest in a B12N are wrong. They are basing that on opinion & assumption - not fact. [B]Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV[/B] · 5h5 hours ago ESPN's view is that a small B12N profit is better than a LHN loss. [B]Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV [/B] · 5h5 hours ago @CincyP5orbust If your ESPN would you rather earn $.02 on LHN or $.60 on B12N? Have 20M on LHN or 50M on B12N? [B]Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV[/B] · 5h5 hours ago BHV will say current B12 market for a network is 20-25m without expansion. Previously thought to be 13m. [B]Mountaineer Steve‏@Mountaineer_Ste [/B] @theDudeofWV 20-25M what? total per year, per team...? [B]Christopher Lambert‏@theDudeofWV [/B] @Mountaineer_Ste the 20-25m is estimated cable homes in media footprint. [B]Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV [/B] · 5h5 hours ago @caingle LHN is already in 20m homes. Expansion to 14 could move that 34m or more. [B]Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV[/B] · 5h5 hours ago @caingle I understand that ESPN has already informed Fenves they would support B12N. [B]Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV[/B] · 5h5 hours ago @caingle Its going to be ego first for Texas & money second in regards to LHN. Money seems to be there. [B]CHOP ‏@Ruknighttime[/B] · 5h5 hours ago @theDudeofWV if espn claims they don't have money to make ACC network, how the hell could they do b12? [B]Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV[/B] · 5h5 hours ago [USER=2891]@Ruknighttime[/USER] With a B12N ESPN would just convert LHN into B12N. Add subscribers & charge more. [B]CHOP ‏@Ruknighttime [/B] · 4h4 hours ago @theDudeofWV and why would Texas give up LHN control and money? [B]Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV [/B] · 3h3 hours ago [USER=2891]@Ruknighttime[/USER] Texas would not give up a dime. [B]Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV[/B] · 5h5 hours ago @caingle If a network is really an option I don't see how large market schools are left out. [/QUOTE]
