Texas State will have 2 home games on the Longhorn Network. Nevada (Sept 29th) & LA Tech (Nov 10th).

If we weren't moving up to CUSA, this is something I wouldn't mind North Texas looking into (although I doubt Texas St received much in the way of money for these games being on LHN). But with CUSA, most of the conference games should be on TV somewhere. SMU only has 3 games not on TV (and those 3 are on Time Warner).

As opposed to ESPN3, which is not even a real TV network!

:phew:

I mean... YEAH! The Longhorn network is for losers!

I didn't say they were worse off, but the irony of the whole thing is that they are broadcasting on a network that is dedicated to a different team. Why agree to be on a network where the entire audience doesn't care about you and isn't going to watch?

Understood, and I think for TX St. being close to Austin and just now jumping up to D-1, it's a good move for them. I'm certainly not saying I think UNT should be broadcast there... I guess it was more frustration that ESPN3 is our only option for broadcast unless we're playing on a Tuesday night.

In my defense, I don't get either channel, which is even more frustrating.

Congrats to them, now they can be on a TV network no one watches.

I hate me some UT but I gotta hand it to 'em. They got ESPN to give them $300 million for a channel that even their die-hards don't subscribe to.

P.S. Call your cable provider RIGHT NOW and tell them you want the LHN.....pretty please.

Know anyone with ATT DSL, or Time Warner Cable TV?

      Disappointed the game didn't allow us to see Mason, Cotton, and Vice.

      Two more home games before students are back, then hopefully the athletic department is going all out to try to compete with last year's record-breaking numbers.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      In traditional professional football, when teams pay players and have a losing season, the teams still make $$$ and turn a profit. Thus they can afford to continue to pay players. In today’s college football, when boosters pay players NIL and the team has a losing season, the boosters lose money AND they don’t get to experience the joy of being associated with a winner. Will those boosters keep donating NIL? Do you have to find new boosters? Don’t you eventually run out of boosters? Just don’t see how this NIL model is sustainable. Rich people didn’t get rich by losing money and I don’t see how you can keep asking them to do that via NIL. The revenue sharing model WILL work and it will be interesting to see what percentage of revenue is ultimately allocated to labor. The NBA gives 51% of gross revenue to players. The other major professional leagues give less. But why would colleges give players anything close to that? College players are infinitely replaceable. People root for their school and as a consequence of that, root for the players competing for that school. But if the Top 100 players in college football disappeared overnight, would the popularity of the sport suffer at all? I don’t think it would. Offer the players minimum wage, make them sign binding contracts with buyouts and non-competes (assuming you can still enforce those: that is another rabbit hole). NIL will still exist but won’t be as big of a deal because of the contracts and buyouts. If a players thinks he is too good for this system, they can start their own football league or wait until they are eligible for the NFL. Why wouldn’t this work?

      I don’t know how much they care. It’s like monopoly money. Many of them are just borrowing from Uncle Sam and hoping they don’t have to pay it back.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Did you believe Alabama would be uncompetitive vs Oklahoma? What about OSU vs Tennessee? Did you think TCU would get absolutely nuked by Georgia a few heads ago AFTER beating #4. Michigan? Blowouts happen every year in we den the 4 team playoff. They mean little.
