Mostly unrelated... What's with West Virginia and the couch burning?

I don't really get this HUGE potential. They are not notre dame. The market for the LHN ends at the state line. Almost no one outside of Texas wants the LHN, and its not like everyone in the state is scrambling for it to the point where they can demand ESPN money out of the cable providers.

Pretty sure it's going to be hard for West Virginia to get into the Big 12 if they want to since they rely on partial qualifiers.

Sooooo, if Texass can't show away games or HS games, what in the hell can they show?
Am I going to have to purchase the stupid network if I want to watch anyone play at Texas? They are really going to cut down on their customer base if that is the case. Texas: Underachieving AssClowns. |

No, I'm saying instead of obsessing so much on Texas, the conference as a whole should focus on goals it can work towards together. Your response exemplifies my point. You want to focus on what someone else has and use that as the excuse for all that ails you. With that mentality, its impossible for you to look at common goals and focus on those. Your misplaced focus is not the fault of someone else, yet you use that as the excuse to not have to try.

BTW, where did you get that list? Crazy to think that Iowa's football team is virtually as profitable as Ohio States. |

Texas doesn't view this network as a "sports only" venue for them. I know that is the aspect that gets promoted the most, but there are other reasons Texas doesn't want to part with it. Quit focusing on the stupid LHN, its the focus that is creating the acrimony, not the network itself. Even the article points out that very few households outside of Texas are actually going to get it, let alone watch it. If there is an actual competitive disadvantage regarding an aspect of it, fine, let's address that, but everything else is envy. |

If I were the Pac-12 and thought future expansion was the best idea, I'd probably go ahead and offer to KU and MU.
After that, I'd give UT and OU a chance to join. If they say no, I'd go to BYU and possibly Boise State. NO OSU. No Texas Tech. No LHN. No KSU. Sorry, but if I'm the Pac-12, I'm splitting people up... |
