Smaller schools that have to share a network

[Lance Armstrong]

Are you satisfied with the amount of coverage your team gets on your conference network? Do you feel some schools get way more coverage than others?

 

[pennstatenut]

Doesn't bother me. If we aren't on national tv The B1G has us televised. I love living 1,000 miles away and still get to see every game.

Pac seems pretty well distributed among all schools getting games on the network

 

[Red_Alert]

Seems evenly covered to me.

Every game is broken down every week.

Doesn't the pac have two schools paired per network? Or am i making that up? Like a Pac 12 Arizona/az state network

Hmm, seems this thread is backfiring.

how so? I was wondering if the networks cater to the bigger schools more than the others, the way most of us cry about ESPN pimping out the SEC.

Felt like a sales pitch thread to me...

Yeah, I'm good.

Seemed like a passive aggressive attempt to brag about the LHN.

The only thing that sucks about the BTN is that I can't get it...damn you Time Warner Cable!!!

I don't notice any favoritism on the BTN. Obviously when they air a "classic" or particular championship season there aren't always 14 teams that meet that criteria but they do a good job of spreading out the coverage.

Yes there is a state pairing or something Pac 12 National and a secondary Pac Washington, Oregon, Bay, Socal, Arizona and Mountain i think im not 100%
but even still as far as football goes the games are generally put on National and all local at the same time. the local stuff is usually for things like Soccer, and water polo

Do the secondary channels have school related content, like coaches show, highlight show, etc? IF they do, this is easily the way to go

I feel your pain. I get BTN and the SEC Network, but no PAC-12 Network and I'm in SoCal. Freaking Verizon!!

i dont think so

 

[Olyduck]

example
right now on national and Pac 12 Washington they are both showing the Washington at Arizona game. they have identical programing until 11 am. at that time WA shows the UW at AZ while Nat shows Utah at Stan. then same programs until 3 pm at which time both show classics but WA shows 94 UW at Or (which i find weird since Oregon won that game and is an iconic game for Ducks. Look up the pick if you dont know it already) while Nat shows 88 USC at UCLA. both show identical again until 830 am thursday.

Does anyone actually get the longhorn network? I've gotten the SEC, B10, and Pac12 network pretty much for free -- they just showed up on my cable box one day. Can't say I've see the Longhorn Network -- and if it is there, I"m sure it's not free. lol at having to pay for a channel like that specifically to watch your team.

LOL at your "logic."
- i think something might be like I'm thinking
- therefore, it is like I'm thinking
- so, I'm going to make fun of it.
The mind a genius, ladies and gents.

Neither I nor anyone I have ever known has had to pay for the LHN.

I live in Texas, so its free. I'm sure if you live outside the state you have to up your cable package for it. I have U300 u-verse, so i get all the networks except for the pac 12 network. I was curious how teams get coverage on a 14 team network, good to see Washington state gets the same coverage as USC.

That's fine, I just looked it up -- Comcast doesn't even provide the LHN. So lol at not being on one of the largest media providers in the country. I couldn't even buy it if I wanted it. So congrats on being on in Texas....

Nope, Comcast does not carry the LHN. Couldn't even get it if I wanted it. Meanwhile. the rest just showed up on my current subscription for free.
