I think my point of view, shared by many others, is sinking in. Just because you are on satellite, doesn't mean that anyone watches you. What percent of DTV subscribers have the sports pack?

The deal is still a disaster. Just less of a disaster than when it didn't have a satellite deal.
not really. The conference got no money from gameplan. ESPN got to pick those games for free. You ask how many people get the sportspack. It's more than get Gameplan. Not to mention that Gameplan's importance and influence is on the way out. Besides no MWC, Gameplan also doesn't have PAC 10, Big 10 or Big 12. It's only a mattter of time before the major conferences all have their own channels and Gameplan is stuck with showing ABC regional games only and the mid majors. Who will want it then?
