if they want to be on par with the SEC Network. Its awful. All classic reruns and zero news. How in the hell did they not adjust programming after what just went down?
Not really in the industry but when I was practicing in Austin in the 90s, ran in some very influential crowds. People that Dodds was trying to get to invest in the idea of the Longhorn Network. Saw some of the numbers that he was trying to sell. Just didn't work.Timberwolf said:
Very interesting analysis. Sounds like you may be in the industry?
I would agree that the audience is very different but I would imagine FOX will need to improve its production value now that the LA market is in town dont you think?
From my understanding, the PAC 12 Network failures was a big reason why UCLA and USC left.

Arkansas' decision to leave the SWC was simple. Barring "dramatic change," Broyles said the conference will no longer be as competitive as it was in the 1960s, '70s and '80s. He said the popularity of professional sports in the conference's boundaries--three NBA teams, two NFL and two major league baseball franchises--have lowered the SWC's revenue. Recent figures show that an average of 50% of the available seats are empty at SWC football games.
"If we thought the SWC could change its direction and get competitive for the '90s (Arkansas would have stayed)," Broyles said. "But we don't know what they could do."
Money wasn't the entire issue. Broyles said the athletic program's financial status was "extremely sound for the next 10 years." Instead, Broyles said he was more concerned with the long-term benefits of the move: recruiting, fan base and image.

Cowboys killed SMU and TCU with SMU committing seppuku during the Ron Meyer era.greg.w.h said:
The Oilers killed Rice's fan base. They didn't use to need tarps. And filled their stadium without A&M visiting.
Awesome! Must be fun bagging on the teasips in that household.aggiehawg said:Me? Dad, brother and all of my uncles were A&M, thus I was born an Aggie. The Hubs is from Arkansas and is a Razorback. Thus, "aggiehawg."Timberwolf said:
