Forcing carriers to take on 6 regional networks along with the national P12N was NEVER a good idea. They will NEVER have the content needed to make the regional nets viable.

Regional sports nets that carry pro teams have enough trouble staying viable as it is. The SECN and BTN struggle to provide enough content and they both have 14 schools to work with. Regional sports nets that carry nothing but two college teams are completely useless b/c they rarely ever have live content that differs from the national network.

They aren't getting football and basketball games you can't see anywhere else. The barely even get the smaller Olympic sports as live content. Almost everything on the regional nets is either a simulcast from the national P12N or a replay/rerun of something that already aired on P12N.

Trying to force 7 networks on tv providers is the #1 reason P12N isn't on DTV or AT&T.

That statement isn't completely true. The 2017 game between #10 USC and #16 Texas A&M in basketball was exclusively on the PAC 12 Network.
