Why does everyone keep referring to Notre Dame in this thread? ND's television contract with NBC is not even remotely comparable to the LHN! All NBC does for notre dame is televise their home games, that's it. No coaches show, no tv for other sports, he'll except for upcoming game promos you never even hear ND's name mentioned on NBC. The LHN will be 24-7 Longhorns. Do some of you realize that? To think it won't give them an advantage in recruiting is absolutely ignorant. Will it effect their football recruiting much? Maybe not since they already pick and choose who they want, but it will certainly help with all other sports. The chance to play almost all of your games( or at least home games) on tv for volleyball. Softball, baseball, basketball, etc will be a Hugh advantage no one else has.
