re: So How Bad Did the LHN Hurt Texas?

Did the B10N hurt the B1G? As it sits rights now the LHN is making more money per team then the initial launch of the B10N.
Trying to put value or even attempt to say that the LHN is even close to a failure is not only extremely short sighted, but also show an extreme misunderstanding of initial offering of RSN's.
As far as Mizzou or A&M leaving, the LHN is a convenient excuse for then to leave, nothing more. If the LHN was a problem, then A&M would have never applied last year for the SEC before the launch of the LHN. It is not a root cause, and so far has been a political rallying cry to rally the masses.
Smart move on their part to push the concept, but the real decision makers have know for a long long time about the LHN, the contract associated, and the potential ramifications.

Lol. Are you serious? The LHN hasn't been picked up by near the amount of providers as projected by now. Not even close. And it was originally thought there would be HS content as filler which has now been disallowed. I don't even see the channel lasting because it will struggle to meet the requirements set forth in the contract. What's funnier is the LHN is only giving the Texas AD (already the richest) an extra 3-4 million per year. Was that little of money worth the PR black eye and loss of conference members? Which will devalue the conference and in the end mean the LHN actually didn't add value. Especially if it's scrapped it definitely cost the Texas AD money.

we applied last year because Texas tried to back door broker a 6 team deal to the PAC 12 you dummy. Sorry, bruh. Texas doesn't make our decisions for us
