If it costs ESPN $25mil total (10 for operating, 15 to Texas) but it brings in $12mil, that's better than scrapping it, unless like you briefly alluded to they could replace it with something that would bring even more money in. The best solution would be to roll it into a conference network and maybe still guarantee Texas $15mil per year. That would generate more revenue than the LHN and wouldn't cost that much to rebrand it.
