Yeah I've got the Disney+/ESPN+/Hulu package.  It's a bargain.

But once Texas moves to the SEC, do you think the content will end up on ESPN+, or on SECN?  Or is that basically the same thing?
It seems like the LHN was more contentious as far as carriage went than the "league" networks like BTN or SECN. If something is on LHN, it appears on the ESPN app, but gets locked out if you're not logged in via an approved provider. The other networks landed easy carriage deals with a variety of providers.

Really, once they're free of the "lessons learned", I expect that something like the LHN won't be repeated. Whomever carries the SEC contract (likely ESPN in substance) will probably have the 3rd tier available for streaming.

Oh I agree with most of the above, just wondering why UT Tier3 stuff would be on ESPN+ rather than the SECN, once UT is in the SEC and the LHN is gone?

I'd think that once the LHN is absorbed into ESPN, that UT would be the same as any other SEC school and have the various Olympic/non-revenue sports shown on the SECN when they're not on ABC or ESPN.

For sure.

Having no experience with SECN, I'm not sure how they utilize it.  Does it also have "overflow" channels like badger said about BTN?  If so, what delineates between that content, and what ends up on ESPN+?

I guess there's a brave new world of channel media rights broadcasting that I'm about to discover for myself.

I've watched some SECN but have not seen overflow channels.

They are going to need them.

Well, a less-than-interesting football game would probably land on SECN. The volleyball and beisbol will likely find homes on ESPN+ just out of sheer volume. 
Really, in the last 2 or 3 years, the LHN just sort of existed as a rescheduled ESPN+ channel anyhow. I think they were trying to honor very old agreements that were signed right before we all decided cable was stupid.

I've seen them use ESPNNews and ESPNU for some overflow stuff too.

True, true.

The truth is Texas will be on ABC and ESPN most weeks, but I guess I'll eventually have to figure out how to watch any games that might slip to SECN or something else.

I doubt UT slips down past SECN. Too many eyeballs available to simply bury them on a lower tier.

I think there is an SEC Network overflow channel, but it kinda slips in and out of the other channels.  I don't think it has a dedicated channel.

Was hoping you'd chime in and educate me in the ways of SEC television.  Thanks!

In football news, Stewart Mandel's picks for the B12 team records are... somewhat controversial?

I was about to post that this morning.  I kinda regarded SM as a somewhat level headed media figure, but seriously this just seems like shit posting for clicks.

I mean, if it's what he really believes, than he should post it.  

I don't have a ton of faith in Sarkisian, but even I don't think he's 2-7/4-8 bad.  I could certainly be wrong though.
