LHN assures the rest of the Big 12 that it will never have a conference network, which drastically reduces revenue upside for everyone but texass.
The Big Ten Network showed everyone how much revenue was being left on the table. Why sell your rights to ESPN when you can market your inventory yourself.
Big Ten and SEC schools will eventually be pulling in over $20MM per year just in tier 3 revenue by increasing the sum of the parts.
But go on chirping about how ku basketball on Metro Sports is where the "real" money is.
