I think a lot of the “we’re going to start our own network!” talk is simply posturing before they sit down to actually hammer out a deal ESPN/ABC/FoxSports/CBS et al. My guess is that all of the conferences will launch something they call a “network,” but it will look a lot more like ESPN3 than The Big-Ten Network
