I expect them to get more high profile OOC games on there as well. Time Warner jumped on board this year. Directv ESPN rights are up in 2015 and ESPN will push for LHN to be included. However, I truly believe the only way the LHN becomes really successful is if UT goes independent.

Rumor is Saban signed an extension with Bama and it will be announced today. Awful tough week for Texas wishful thinkers if true as Petersen (didn't want him anyway), Malzahn and Saban come off the board. Mack Brown might be able to keep his job with a loss as there isn't a whole lot out there. Names that I would still like Gundy, Smart (not sure he would ever leave), Chad Morris, Andersen and Briles (just signed an extension as well).
