Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 638443, member: 652"] Yeah, but remember this with LHN as a ESPN channel it basically means that ESPN controls Texas inventory currently, and the B1G/BTN is backed by FOX. ESPN is going to realize that the 15 million a year they pay minimum to Texas for LHN is good to control a top 5 college football brand under the ESPN umbrella. If Texas leaves before the LHN expires it will be with ESPN blessing to an ESPN controlled conference either the SEC or ACC. I don't think the ACC is a realistic option, and that is why I said the SEC. Truthfully, Texas could probably get the Notre Dame deal with the ACC and go independent. Texas could easily get 2 for 1s with teams in Texas and have 5 ACC games each year which would be controlled by ESPN and if they went 10-2, 11-1, 12-0 be eligible for the 4 team playoff. [/QUOTE]
