    UT makes more money on tickets sales than TV revenue (pre COVID). Ticket sales are still a huge part of the budget. Last year, we made $20.6m on media rights. In 2019, we made $37m on ticket sales. Of course TV/streaming has more growth potential than tickets. But with cord cutting, that's not a given. And these numbers are before our new uterine suites are raising more money...and before any SEC TV money bump.

    Ticket sales still a huge percentage of football revenue.

    My NoVa eyeballs always see three times more WVa gear on folks than VTech or UVa gear on Saturdays. But a lot of all three. After those three, I see as many Longhorn decals on cars as any other national brand...ND, Ohio State, etc. Some UNC. Lots of military academy license plates... mostly Navy, then Army. But this place is full of folks from every where. I have a TCU flag and another Longhorn on my block. And a bunch of SEC flags in the hood. I don't give a shit, but the VA DMV offers aggy plates, but no UT plates. I always guessed that's because we just go with the metalish Longhorn decal over a plate. I see way more Horns than aggy... But they are around here too.

    My guess is that ESPN is less interested in poaching from another all-ESPN conference. If the ACC is as relatively underpaid and locked into such a long contract as discussed pages above, that's a good deal on good content for Mouse. Why blow that up when you can blow up Fox properties in the Big 12, Big 10, or the PAC?

    "The new deal will not change the conference’s philosophy on Thursday- or Friday-night games, Sankey says: There will be none." Did not know this.

    No doubts... But big doubts OU will be happy with that based on their anger over Fox Big Noon game.

    Bigger league with bigger marquee matchups... Scheduling for tv will get harder, not easier. Strange logic from OU.

    I am starting to wonder if the remaining Big 12/Ir8 structure becomes a Fox property when ESPN backs out... So that this fight for the remains is Fox v ESPN. Ir8 can go to ESPN, which is the stronger network, but the lesser conference (for now), or choose to keep the Big 12 and expand with the stronger conference but lesser network money. This could get interesting. Will Bowls y send the same letter to Fox? Ha.

    This is becoming the Rick roll of this thread.

    Wasn't he one of the first non Cronkite "what starts here changes the world" voices on LHN?

    I called TEX from an airplane phone over the Pacific ocean. It cost a fucking fortune, but felt pretty damn futuristic compared to sitting on the ground in the Drum waiting for someone to come drop a class in person.
  12. DCLonghorn
    Drum in person Fall 89. Can't remember if they rolled out TEX for Spring 90 or not. Maybe?

    ... and hurts Fox

    SECN posted some hypothetical pods

    And HS football games! Ha ha ha

    No one by that names works for the SEC. https://www.secsports.com/article/11285694/sec-office-staff-directory

    Nope... Just odd to say they underperform every year a month and a half after they made super regionals.
  18. DCLonghorn
    Too soon?
  19. DCLonghorn
    Now that's a fresh reference right there.
  20. DCLonghorn
    Ha. We made it to the super regionals this year.
  21. DCLonghorn
    You just made me cry a little
  22. DCLonghorn
    Yeah... I keep wondering why 16 is a magic number. Why do the others have to follow if they can't poach great programs?

    Have never seen this. Where the hell have I been? This is amazing. I am now fully on board with joining the SEC.

    Everyone should spend some time watching SECN and Paul F. You may miss Lowell before too long. I wonder if there will still be a need for what he does calling sports and pre game shows, just much less of it. I hope they find a way to put the LHN content on E+ or SECN+ and they keep up the pregame/halftime stuff for at least the big 3 sports. For all the LHN grumbling, it goes a long way to connect far away alumni to UT. And nothing better to indoctrinate my kids in all thing UT from a time zone away.
