I am told that the negative reaction from fans and donors to the possibility of three games being on the LHN has been enough that the Texas athletic department may sink its heels into the sand and only allow one game to be on the LHN, which is all the Longhorns are contractually obligated for.
As of now, there is still expected to be two games on the LHN (Wyoming and New Mexico) with the possibility of a third (Baylor). But I am told that the negative feedback is something the powers that be are considering.

Won't this just further hurt the chances of LHN being picked up by additional carriers? I get the frustration of fans but the less the channel has to offer, especially in terms of live desirable content, the less likely it becomes available to more of us.

If a carrier tells you the LHN will be available at a certain date, I would take it with a big grain of salt. While my parents were deciding between Direct TV and Dish for their new house last August, they decided on Direct TV because the sales person for Direct TV assured them it would be announced within the week that the LHN would be available before the Rice game. I am sure he had a good laugh about that right after he got off the phone.

Dear Longhorn Fan: Thanks for your note. We share our fans' frustration at the slow progress of additional clearances for LHN (beyond Verizon/Fios and Grande Communications). ESPN is working very hard with carriers to encourage them to carry LHN. Business deals must be negotiated and struck by ESPN with each carrier.
Now that is just wrong. Consolidated here in the Woodlands/Conroe area has it. There are so few-to be left off is an insult.
