Texas not backing down (The Longhorn Network)

[ToddyHill]

The Dallas Morning News Chuck Carlton column

Personally, I think showing edited highlights is more of a recruiting tool than showing a game 'live.' By the way, broadcasting live football games in Texas is regulated quite strongly by the UIL (the governing board of high school athletics in Texas). The intent is to protect the gate proceeds...which can be considerable given some schools regularly average 10,000 fans (at $8 a pop) per game.

How is showing anything involving high school games not an NCAA recruiting violation...

Espn gave them 300 million reasons to not back down.

Agree that highlights is even more of an advantage than live. Why sit through the mundanity of a full game when you can go sportcenter with it.

Have you been paying attention to the NCAA in the past 2 years?

Big fail today for the Longhorn Network. Was the launching ceremony even shown on any of the ESPN channels? I am kind of waiting for the bigger fail next Saturday when no Fake UT fans except those few who had Fios could watch their home opener against Baylor.

Definitely a Cinderella deal for a&m but I'm not sure there aren't some little brother delusions tossed in. Texas will still be in good shape just about regardless what happens, not that the article indicated anything different. My million dollar question is who the hell will be 15 and I hope it's not a team from MO. But that's just my 2 cents. I'd rather see VT than mizzou or whoever.
