The network as originally envisioned was a good idea: a channel for sports across the state. We would collaborate with A&M to show college sports and leverage the fact that UIL is administered by UT to get high school football (bigger than CFB in many areas) on TV. But fear, pride, and an inflated amount of money from ESPN resulted in the watered down version that was only really good at streaming Bevo on Christmas.
So I'm glad this is the last year of LHN. I couldn't stand how people pointed to it as the reason the Big XII fragmented (as the article mentions, realignment was already underway).
