The probably best result for a conference network is essentially WWE network and they can even do it the same way (by buying the tech from MLBAM) I just don't know if they can afford to do that each individually yeah

harperdc posted:*points at the PAC-12 Network* Theoretically. But when it comes to most cable, Big 10 network is in the same poo poo tier in non-Big 10 territories that the Pac 12 is on in Big 10 territories. The real fact is because the number of people who live 3 states over that are watching these channels is generally small, even the ones that have nationally popular teams (partly because most of these teams good games don't show up on these channels). The area where ESPN did win though is they didn't go to war with DirecTV like Pac 12 did, basically cutting off the public venue crowd. Rick fucked around with this message at 05:10 on May 30, 2023 |

Can we get Maroon vs slightly darker shade of maroon the game please? AKA Maroon outing a team that also is maroon is certainly a choice. https://twitter.com/MaroonOut/status/1661054888334311449

I think we're still a long ways away from the possibility of ESPN pulling out of cable, satellite, and channel conglomerate streaming services like YouTube TV or Hulu. I don't think sports streaming is comparable to other services because sports streaming is still going to involve significant income from advertising. It's in ESPN's best interest to set a price that maximizes viewership, if they do decide to be subscription-only.

It's the former, most likely - a deliberate mispronunciation. While the Maroon communities have historical significance, the term had exited the public lexicon by the mid 1800's, having been replaced by other terms for the same peoples, losing significance with the British outlawing slavery within their empire, and finally with the US freeing all slaves.

Yeah, the Bugs thing was always a deliberate mispronunciation because he would follow it up by pronouncing imbecile "im-BASS-le," it doesn't really go deeper than that. Or at least, it shouldn't.

I think those are probably the second tier games, there’s just not much to choose from. I am curious what the pecking order is going to be between FOX, NBC, and CBS for the Big Ten games here in a couple of years. Is it going to be Big Noon, CBS mid-afternoon, and NBC primetime as the top three games in some order?

I think it’s more than just a bluff or ploy for more money. I’d read Disney is looking to merge Disney+ with Hulu into one app, and I don’t see why ESPN wouldn’t just become a full part of that integrated streaming service.

Going streaming only when you current framework for streaming is half assed and poor quality is sure a move. I would think that it could lead to higher picture quality or bitrate with easy to navigate alternate audio streams but we know that they will do the most half assed job possible. I want good 4K sports and surround sound, even if the back channel is crowd noise.

Who do we think votes for and against expansion to a 9-game SEC schedule? Seems like teams with more than one natural rival (that they're likely to keep in a 3-6 format) are the strong yes's, and the teams without multiple big rivalries that are also facing an uphill battle to get to 6 wins on a yearly basis are the strongest no's. Texas and OU won't have a vote this summer. Apparently the change can be made with a simple majority. Yes: Alabama (they lose First Friday otherwise) Tennessee (they lose First Friday otherwise) Auburn (probably wants to keep the Georgia game?) Missouri (gets to reunite with multiple Big 8/Big 12 buddies and increase exposure in Texas) Arkansas (wants to play Texas) Texas A&M (wants to play Texas, in their heart of hearts) No: Ole Miss (Egg Bowl is only rivalry anyone cares about, other two "rivals" will be totally arbitrary, makes it harder to bowl) Mississippi State (see above) South Carolina (9 SEC games and Clemson every year seems pretty daunting) Vanderbilt (Is Vanderbilt, life is hard enough already) ?? Georgia (how much do they care about the Auburn game?) Florida (I don't really know what Florida wants, but their annual non-con rivalry is worth factoring in. Doesn't seem like the Georgia game would be in any danger regardless of what happens) Kentucky (see above) LSU (kind of rivals with no one and everyone; hard to see them being either strongly for or against) Edit: a bit more research seems to indicate that UF and Georgia are likely “yes” votes and that Kentucky and the Mississippi schools are the only hard no’s, so it’s probably just a matter of whether the money can get sorted out with ESPN in time for the 2024 season.

Kentucky is a definite no. Stoops has made that clear from the beginning. I think that 10 game all SEC slate in 2020 made that decision, but he's also indicated he'd want to drop the Louisville game if it goes to 9. I don't like that as a fan. I like the 3-6-6 model better (at least with certain alignments) for the conference as a whole, but I don't like the look of Kentucky running away from Louisville, even if they do improve under Brohm.
