Sorry, but I don’t know anybody that purposely watched the 2:30 sec game that didn’t root for one of the teams already. The broadcasters were horrible. One of the main reasons I never watched it.

I think we have hit a point to where fans are looking for marquee games regardless of conference affiliation. Take October 9 for instance. Doesn't matter who you root for, unless you are some type of Big 10 fan that enjoys early morning games (gross), you will tune into UT/OU in the morning and still catch A&M/Bama in the evening. Toss in a juicy FSU/UNC matchup and that is a day that most fans will take on regardless of affiliations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would they trust them. Come on man you’re way smarter than this. Texas took their money bag with LHN, A&M took theirs with the SEC.

The Ags are doing it in a better conference and way more exposure. End of day was the best decision for the school and $$ had little to do with it. So other Aggies are saying money and exposure……. You’ve said money and exposure. So now that they’re and 8-4 team in the sec they’re doing it in a better conference and money had little to do with the decision. Which is it?

I used to miss games because some weren’t broadcasted or Ppv. I don’t why you’re struggling with this. Some things are more important than $$ and enhancing The brand is far greater than Texas or their sidekicks had to offer.

It was offered, but it wasn't going to be an equal partnership. The programs weren't going to be paid equally, so A&M declined and DeLoss Dodds tried to frame it as, "Well, we offered them the chance!" without being up front that it wasn't a 50/50 deal. At least if you believe Loftin's claim, which Dodds never disputed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was going to be ran by UT so more funding was to pay studio staff. Also it wasn’t going to be 50/50. Other Texas teams that were being represented on the network would draw money from it too. It would show high school games to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
