[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 130995636, member: 1428007"] From reading--streaming is going to continue growing, but linear tv isn't going away anytime soon and will still be the preferred platform. The person that created the BTN actually approached the old Big IIX about doing this first, but schools like Texas, OU, Nebraska wanted their own deal instead. He went to the Big Ten, which was having a dispute with ESPN over rights fees, Delaney agreed to it, got a deal with FOX for partial ownership, and the rest is history. All the Big Ten schools are making money hand over fist from that network and getting nationwide exposure which helps attracts recruits and students in general. ESPN seeing that success started the SECn and did it also for the acc as it tries to make that conference more important in college football. The only problem is we have to pay for them in order to get cable, or have ESPN. Its not because those channels are popular, the ratings aren't even released because they are so low for all. Its because FOX and ESPN threatened dropping other offerings to the providers if they didn't also offer those conference networks at the lower tiers so that they could shovel your and any other cable subscribers money to these conferences and make a boatload themselves. All good if your conference is included. But the BIG 12's footprint is smaller than the other conferences which have more schools and states involved. So creating a BIG 12 network was a dilemna. First, there isn't enough inventory to put on it (football drives the bus, the other conferences have 35 or so games to put on while the BIG 12-without Texas or OU content has 8 tier 3 games, and now ESPN is moving BIG 12 conference matchups onto it--which removes that content from national tv ratings for the BIG 12). Guess they are calculating they'll get a great new deal with ABC/ESPN if they go this route rather than expanding and trying to get their own linear network, but of course the big issue there is the LHN which hasn't done well, but Texas isn't giving it up any time soon.
