Sure it could have been 2nd tier based on which provider was up for choices that week.

Texas apparently with the B12 also has a contract for unlimited rebroadcast of all Tier 1 games on the LHN as they've been replaying all their games so far...

Also remember that ESPN/ESPN2 are in about 100M homes (ABC 114M) and FS1 is in about 84M homes so the difference in distribution between the mother ship compared to FS1 is not that much.

Not like CBSSN (38M) or FS2 (30M?)....
