If a conference network isn't that valuable for the 4 schools or even the
Big XII, then how would the schools increase exposure for the other sports they currently sponsor? I keep hearing how live content is important to increasing the value of the media contract. Now I realize they are referring to football and men's basketball unless you are talking about the Big Ten and SEC where the non-revenue sports (i.e. baseball, ice hockey, lacrosse, and softball) have some value to the conference.
I guess ultimately I am wonder if the ACC, Big XII, and Pac-12 would be in a better financial position with or without a conference network. Now I know the Big Ten and SEC are currently in a different league than the rest of the power conferences, so it doesn't make sense (or cents) to continue comparing the 3 with them. Does it make sense (or cents) to compare the 3 to the AAC, C-USA, MAC, MWC, Sun Belt, maybe the Big East, and maybe the Atlantic 10 in terms of how their media contracts and even "conference network" are currently structured?

ACC would be better off with a Big12 alliance. Not Pac10.
