FrenchQuarterDawg	potential SEC TV network - good idea or bad idea?		Lead	[-]
Posts: 1004 06/24/08 02:44 PM	Tags : None The topic is explored to some degree on SportsIllustrated.com Click here for the story... As long as it doesn't take away games from national networks (CBS, ESPN, ESPN2) and the Saturday morning JP (or whatever they are now) games - which is where I get to see most State games - I'm fine with it. Might not make a difference for football as much, but could be great for basketball. --------------------------------------- If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is "Probably because of something you did." "That's what makes WVU such a terrible place. You mix Jersey/Maryland reject guido douchebags with three-eyed cromagnon appalachian coal children, and you get the worst that the land of the free, home of the brave has to offer. A race of people so confused, so misguided, so insular... oooh....it sends a cold chill down my spine." - NutherT

I think it's going to happen but not until the next time the SEC renegotiates its TV contract. I read in the SportsBusiness Journal that FOX and CBS is throwing tons of money at them for rights. CBS will probably land it but they want to capitalize on interest and show more double headers (whether noon and 3:15 or 2:30 and primetime). Whatever happens, Raycom is shit outta luck.

Big 10 has it going, Comcast recently came to terms with them and it will be on the digital tier for 7 of the 8 states with a team (iowa doesnt have comcast). Big Money will be a comin, in additon to the big 10 making their network they signed a 10 year/1 billion contract with espn/abc. Im not sure when the contract re-ups with CBS but with the recent national sucess in football and basketball expect a big increase.
