If this is the straw that breaks the SECs relationship with CBS and brings back night games every week in Death Valley (especially for games like Georgia, Florida, Auburn who don't get the primetime treatment), I will be ecstatic.


ETA: CBS pays the SEC, not the other way around, for the right to broadcast its games. Now the SEC can choose to take its TV rights elsewhere whenever the contract expires, but CBS holds the power in this relationship as its the one filling the SECs coffers. They aren't a mouthpiece for the conference.

quote:

As a result of these contentious negotiations in the wake of conference expansion, it’s highly unlikely the SEC will remain on CBS after the 2023 football season. (CBS has previously told Outkick it intends to extend its deal and maintain its partnership with the league, but the chances of that happening, based on everything I’ve been told, are minimal at best).


I just went from 6 to midnight.

I get your point but SEC pays CBS by allowing their content on CBS. CBS makes a hell of a lot more money with SEC than without SEC.

but you're right, CBS isn't their mouthpiece.

Still feels like an eternity stuck with Gary Danielson. Giggling Vern being gone is a blessing, though.
