No SEC games in any sport will be able to be seen by fans unless ESPN is covering it direct.
Horrible! I watched maybe 20-25 baseball games on GeauxZone this year. Saw the rest in person or on CST/Fox, etc.
Do you think ESPN will pick up the early Feb and Mar preseason games? Midweek games vs. Tulame and ULLLLL? No way.
So instead of an LSU baseball fan being able to see 40-45 games a year, we will be able to see 10-15 at most.
75 total games broadcasted/14 league teams X 2 = 11.
Oh, and I will get to pay MORE to Cox, DirectTV for the privilege.

I stand corrected in that the rights to games not shown by ESPN can be seen on other broadcasts, as long as that network pays the huge fees ESPN will demand for that right. And even if Cox did agree to those high fees, their new costs would simply be passed on to their customers: LSU fans in this case. Lots of details still to be worked out, but the details are where the fans usually get fricked.
