Because ESPN wildly overestimated the appeal among UT fans of watching a women's volleyball game at 3:30 p.m. on a weekday afternoon. They also wildly overestimated how many cable networks they could connive into shoving the cost of the LHN down their subscriber's throats. For years they couldn't get some major cable networks to even carry it. Nobody wanted to pay.

It was hilarious listening to T sip fans whine and complain about not being able to get LHN on their cable network. Lots of them had to switch carriers just to get it. Now with cord cutting it's probably getting far worse.

The thing that really ticked off their fans is at least a couple or more early season football games were only available on LHN. If you didn't have it, you couldn't watch those games. UT fans care about football and baseball, period. They couldn't care less about any other sports, so women's BB or volleyball being televised 24/7 does nothing for them. Heck, they sit on their hands at men's BB games as though they don't understand the sport.
