LHN to carry game against Ole Miss

SB Nation

Per its language, crafted in 2007, the agreement allows host-team Texas to move the broadcast of the game "via any other means of transmission not listed herein which may exist or be developed."

This kind of stinks for Ole Miss since I'm sure they wanted to maximizes all the exposure they could while playing Texas.

Yeah, it really defeats the whole point of them playing a big name BCS opponent

I feel so bad for them.

So this still counts as one of ABC's tier 1 games correct? Otherwise it would seem that this network would be weakening the negotiating power going forward. If Texas got to pull the game to LHN without the TV partners having a crack at it would seem detrimental to the negotiations.

Ultimately, this is one of the reasons I felt the Big12 needed to really look hard at NBC or Fox for tier 1. It would take a lot of power away from the LHN to move it back to what it was supposed to be, a tier 3 network.

I am sure the SEC would pay double the price to have the game shown on The SEC Network thats own by ESPN!!!

I am sure Ole Miss is thankful it will at least be viewable by all of those texas recruits the SEC is trying to poach since it's on LHN.
