LHN, SECN, ABC, ESPN2, ESPNU branding...

The only time the logo on the actual scorebug changes is on ESPNU.









Longhorn Network simply doesn't carry enough live football to warrant an entire presentation change and the only difference with SEC Network is it has the SEC logo on the bar until the down & distance shows up. The only presentation addition I'd like to see added in the next generation is to see Saturday Night Football added with Brent and Kirk and then Brad Nessler and Todd Blackledge for the other commentary crew.

Do you think that EA pays Reese's and Nissan and all the other commercials that we have to sit through? These logos would be the same thing.

One of my favorite ESPN crews is the Friday night crew of Carter Blackburn and Rod Gilmore. I just hate that last year they put Jamele Hill as the sideline reporter for them.

By your logic, the NCAA and the conferences should be paying EA to be in the game. It's all about the rights.

No, because EA needs the NCAA and schools to make the game. They don't need these logos to make the game. Again, do you think that EA pay Reese's and Nissan for their advertisements in the game?

You still don't see the difference. If your viewpoint were true, then EA wouldn't pay ESPN for the rights to use their images, graphics, and logos. All the major networks don't need to be in the game to be recognized; they already pay for that through their deals with the conferences.

The ESPN deal included talent, which would have to be paid, and exclusivity, which is no longer needed.

Also, you still aren't answering the difference as to what the difference between CBS and Reese's is.
