The network is successful it makes money and great foundation but just not enough - there some reasons

First pac 12 owns the network and sells content to media- the network has great facilities in main studios in la and San franciso. Very high cost areas- they did this to get maximum exposure in the largest markets - the staffing and facilities and logistics all on the pac 12 network so high overhead expenses - the big ten network is owned 49 percent by fox and 51 percent big ten - they reduce fixed costs by sharing with a media partner that has built in media distribution capabilities - resulting in more net revenue per school- rhe sec network is pure outsourced - ESPN operated it completely - and sec gets the revenues - ESPN uses its huge marketing and distribution outreach for exposure- instead of new studio in Atlanta they are using ESPN existing studios in Charlotte with existing staffing - max revenue to the schools and minimum expenses- all have strength and weakensses-- however with the rapid changes in sports broadcasting - the ESPN and big ten network are inherently more nimble to meet changes due to backed up capital resources of with Disney or fox-

And this gets back to the accn- this is vastly complicated - and so many think it's just rent some time on the satellite and broadcast - it's very complicated and and ways to solve it- I'm sure acc- the presidents and media partners are discussing options
