I thought they already had an SEC channel. It's called ESPN

Marginally richer. TV Network run by the company that already owns the rights to the games only increase the package by a small margin. I would expect 1.5-2 million per team more than the TV deal that would have been signed without the official "network". Now that ESPN owns the TV rights no one is getting a deal like the B1G has.

Depends on the language in the contract

but you're probably right.

ESPN is also working on a network with the ACC, but I'd bet they get all of the profits for that because Swoffy is bad at his job.

Not sure where you're getting your info from but that's not the general consensus.

As we first reported in December, it’s expected member schools (and the SEC office which gets an even split) will bring in yearly shares of $30-35 million once the league’s television and bowl contracts are all re-worked and signed. A USA Today sports analysis projected the same numbers in January. Currently, the average payout for SEC schools is $20.1 million.

I understand that the Longhorn network

Is not meeting expectations

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

that's not surprising


Apr 12, 2013, 12:43 PM

the product is not as good as the SEC network will be. ESPN paid so much for the rights that they can't sell it to the cable companies. You can bet they checked all this out and didn't agree to pay the SEC more than they can get in return.

The Big 10 network is
