[QUOTE="IowaCityCy, post: 129584687, member: 1086341"] Here is the link that I used.... [MEDIA=tweet]740643706395582465[/MEDIA] I agree that the B12 missed it's chance to be the first conference to have a network but I don't agree that we will fail because we don't have one now. The ACC can't get a network going because the numbers look bad for one. The P12 might lose their network because it is losing huge money and may be a real millstone around their neck. If we do have a network eventually, I hope it is something that runs in conjunction with the existing networks that each of the B12 teams have for their Tier III programing. I could watch the ISU softball team on TV for every one of their home games and many of their away games this year on Cyclones.tv.... My Hawkeye friends could only watch their team about 3 times all year on the BTN because they have 13 other teams that they also have to show on a regular basis. The BTN is not that fun of a network and is only useful when they play conference games on it regionally that the B12 would have on ESPN or ESPN2 or ESPNU nationally. Does WVA not have a statewide network that plays Tier III Mountaineer stuff 24/7 with some archived football and basketball games also? I think it might be fun to keep the Cyclones.tv network just the way that it is but maybe add some programing for about 2 or 3 hours a day that would be produced by a Big 12 Network that shows an overview of the whole conference but I don't know if I would like a B12 Network if it is done like the BTN.
