Let us compare this

The Big Ten Network is owned 51% by the Big Ten.

The PAC 12 Network is owned 100% by the PAC 12.

The SEC network is owned by ESPN. At this time, ESPN owns the Longhorn Network and pays royalties to IMG and Texas. BTW, if you read the contract between ESPN and University of Texas, the Texas Athletic Department cannot do anything without a blessing from ESPN.

ESPN owns the rights to the brand new College Football Playoff.

Are you possibly insinuating that the SEC and Texas just might get preferential treatment so ESPN can force more carriers because ESPN has Texas and the SEC? Nah.. Couldn't possibly happen. I wonder why ESPN keeps stonewalling the ACC on a network?

Read it all here

Get the SEC Network

If you want it, you have to have an affiliated provider. If your cable provider does not pay for it, you ain't getting it.

You cannot pay to subscribe to it on line. It won't be on ESPN3 or pay per view.

I thought ESPN was the SEC network.
You mean there's more crap to be thrown at us??

Only if your carrier pays for it.

Currently, if you are not Dish Network, Google Fiber, or AT&T Universe(whatever it is) you might not be seeing it.

I am fine with it, if I don't get it. I did not watch many of the SEC games anyway. I am also sure, SEC fans did not watch many of the B1G games either.

All I can think about is the movie Rollerball and it seems that is where we are heading.

Looking at you, Comcast

It'll consist of SEC nut swingers swinging on SEC nuts. How did you think it would work?

I get the Big10 network on charter, I better be getting the SEC Network too.

I'd like to have them all really. I had the Pac12 out in Cali and I miss it.

I'm on Charter not worried pretty sure Bama fans will bomb their offices if it isn't picked up. Every blue moon putting up with their idiocy pays off.

Tell me about it. Us Orangebloods have had envious haters since the LHN began.....

It only took 6 posts until a husker fan brought up Texas for no reason.

The hate is strong in that fanbase.

Why does SportsHoopla think that 'fanbase' isn't a word?

 

[Inquisitor95]

It will have the greatest number of sycophants ever assembled on one television station.

That's a stretch even for you....he was writing about a list of current CFB networks...and I think LHN is one of those????

Wonder what you would have said if he left out the LHN as not being worth mentioning....

AT&T Uverse....keep it straight at least. Cable-One and Dish are currently in negotiations and should pick it up prior to 8/14.

 

[trojanfight]

im not sure how these networks afford to run with so many restrictions on who can have it...I have direct tv..Im not going to switch to a cable company just to pick up a network. last I heard more people had direct tv than anything else nation wide.
