There is not enough meaningful content to support seven channels from the athletic exploits of only 12 schools. Scott gravitated to the Fox Sports model when he should have emulated the tried and true Big Ten Network and now SEC Network model. If Texas can't get a Longhorn Network to function as intended in Texas, there is no way Utah/Colorado will be able to do so in the Rocky Mountain region.

Wouldn't be surprised if negotiations are also hurt by the demand that a provider add seven channels and not just one.
