What in the world are you babbling about?  You really lack basic comprehension skills.You just repeated exactly what I stated in my earlier post about Boren's comments, and now repeat what I responded just a short while ago as if I'm stating something different?  Then you make wild speculation about what Boren meant--and I'm all over the place?Yes, Boren stated that each BIG 12 school is losing $4-$6 million per year ABOVE WHAT THEY MAKE NOW IN THEIR TIER 3 RIGHTS. $2 million plus $6 million is what? DING DING DING!  $8 million.  What is $2million?  The amount some BIG 12 schools make now in tier III television rights.  Other BIG 12 schools are getting around $4 million for tier III television rights now.As Boren states, if there were a BIG 12 network instead of schools selling individual rights, they could make about $4 million more than they make now in tier III tv rights.  What is $4 million plus $4 million?  DING DING DING!  $8 million.  Right in the exact ballpark of my projections of a BIG 12 network getting $1.00 in its footprint with two additions, and reaching 55% penetration of all pay tv subscribers with $.20 per subscriber in non footprint areas--something very possible considering the Big Ten and SEC both are in the mid 60% range.What you are missing is that the number I'm showing is REVENUE only, not showing expenses.  There will be expenses subtracted from whatever revenues schools receive for various costs.  However, the BIG 12 also (at 12) would have two less mouths to feed than the Big Ten or SEC.Texas would immediately get more coverage from a BIG 12 network because it would immediately be on in a much larger territory than the LHN is covered, and it would get national distribution on various pay subscription services-even if at a lower rate than what footprint regions would deliver.  Hate to break it to you, but the SECN and BTN also have to be purchased as add-ons in some areas as well and/or receive lower rates in most areas of the country where they are seen.  No difference there.  A BIG 12 network would get the same sort of distribution as an SECn or BTN, but would likely reach fewer homes, but otherwise it would be distributed in the same manner.Analysts are examining and calculating now, and in May/June they will release numbers to the conference.You should probably wait to try and declare the BIG 12 can't do this or that until after that information is disseminated.  I've done a reasonable estimate above which shows accurately the sort of revenues the BIG 12 could achieve with a certain penetration.</blockquote>
