So does the SEC already have a new tv deal with ESPN/CBS in place?

i mean right now. August 11, 2011
does the SEC have its new tv deals in place? we're currently under contract, and will be for a long time
we don't even know what 14th team may be added, or if that 14 will become 16
everyone is discussing the ESPN/UT link as to why ESPN is shitting all over this supposed expansion, but ESPN pays a fricking shite TON to the SEC, and the only way this move would make sense, is if the SEC plans on paying us even more (a deal brokered for 13-14 teams making more money than we are now)
if we don't have a new deal with ESPN and CBS, then this talk is a silly proposition that makes no sense

Agree completely

I was wondering what would happen with the contract in place now. It used to be the biggest but has since been passed up by a couple conferences. It's also not renegotiable until like 2024 or something ridiculous. Would adding a team void the current deal since it's based on 12 teams?

I thought going to 16 was the only way to void the current contract, but the SEC should most definitely be renegotiating given the BS LHN and the Pac-12's recent ridiculous deal.

I doubt there's an agreement all ready to go, but I'd also be shocked if there weren't a clause for renegotiating the contracts if there was a serious change in the conference like teams being added.

Do you really think Slive and the Presidents would move forward if it meant less money per school? I'm thinking that some provision for this sort of thing was included in the current deal.

i dunno. and i don't know if 1 team is enough to renegotiate. ESPN/CBS have a pretty sweet deal, as is
it's not like adding TAMU for a few games a year will make our conference more valuable for the networks

Then I don't see a reason to cut the pie into more pieces.

i think it's a legit possibility

It adds another entire state to the conference footprint, and big state at that. I would think the SEC would have a legit case to renegotiate.

I would be very surprised. I wonder how that played out in the Big 10 and Pac 10 with their recent expansions.

big10 is expanding due to the Big10 network. there is a legit argument to expand into new markets. they get money for every market that carries the B10N, whether people watch it or not. that is the same plan with the pac10
the pac10's deals were also over, and it renegotiated a fat new deal

irrelevant
how many new viewers will this add? that's all that matters. i don't think TAMU is this monstrous force

Do you REALLY think that Slive and the SEC presidents arent gonna do whats best for the conference? These talks with aTm and $ calculations didn't just start today...this has been going on for a year, at least. They know what they're doing...and I wouldn't be surprised that they know for sure who #14 will be.

they're not perfect

One way or other it'll be what's best for the SEC. You can doubt and disagree all you want.

not guaranteed

Slive is way too smart to screw something up that badly
Posted on 8/14/11 at 3:31 pm to usc6158
Slive has already said theres a clause to change the $ associated with contract.
Some of you are assuming instead of talking factual.
