Aggies can't even sell their ticket allotment to a game down the road in Dallas and their athletic dept revenues were so bad that they borrowed money from the school just a couple of years ago. Just don't think they're going to bring much value from a revenue standpoint even with an SEC network. Again back to my point; if you want a lot households nationwide, make it must see tv by adding winners. Big 10 network is now on my cable here in Georgia in SEC country. No doubt an SEC network will make it nationwide because of its reputation for winning. Adding an Oklahoma would increase that reputation and increase interest even more nationally. Adding A&M adds regionally and that's about it.

You need to stop looking at small samples 1 school and recent events. TV deals are sold on the market reach of a conference, not individual schools seperately. The TV deals are sold on the reach of the conference, not the recent ratings for each team. No offense, but your comment about the cable deal shows you don't know how these things work. Things like the SEC or B1G Network are sold based on number of housholds it reaches, not based on on field success. A&M fans will not demand the SEC network because SEC teams have won 5 BCS titles. Their first interest is their team and their are more people in Texas. With all due repect, Mike Silve and the SEC presidents have better info about this stuff than you. You are too focused on game success. Deals like this are bigger than that. Being the best on the field does not guarentee the most revenue.
