Seems as though Texas is having some trouble with the longhorn network. 4 weeks from launch and no cable/satellite provider has picked it up, not even the ones in TX. Rumor is ESPN will pressure UT into reformatting as a Big 12 network, since they will try to recoup the bucket of cash they already paid UT.

That seems like a tall order. Aren't we dealing with two different marketing companies, IMG and Learfield? Wouldn't Learfield demand to be a part of any talks to make Longhorn Network a Big XII network? Is this just an internet rumor or is there some news outlet floating the rumor?

Well, yes. But that's already an issue regardless, since texas and KU are the only IMG schools in the Big 12.

as for how the rumor started, I have no clue.

By who?
I'm not surprised someone picked them. B10 is in a little bit of dissaray this year. Still, don't expect it to be as easy as it might seem.

Outside looking in. Wonder if he likes apples?

I could see Nebraska winning it but I have Wisconsin as the favorite at the moment. Iowa has an easy schedule they could be a darkhorse this year.

They would be picked around 5th in the Big XII.

Interesting things popping up. Mike DeArmond and Mellinger talk to Pinkel today at Big 12 Media days. Apprently if Expansionmageddon would have escalated into Superconference mode B10 or SEC would have been a landing place for Mizzou.

In other words they would not have been left out of the cold like some like to think.
