In 2010 someone offered the Big12 a TV Network, university of texas said no and instead took $300M from ESPN in 2011 starting the longhorn network which nobody watched, instant money loser. At the same time Texas A&M and Missouri leave for the SEC.
The two individuals at ESPN who created the longhorn network financial failure are the same two who went behind everyone’s back to Move ut and Oklahoma to the SEC

All of that to say, with ESPN laying off on-air talent over past few years and using that money to get the NBA away from TNT, ESPN was wanting to make a splash next season and now they have. I don’t think it happened by accident!!!
