To Hell with regional TV markets...give me a Nationally Prominent Program

VA Tech or FSU.
You cannot convince me that having a Missouri vs. Alabama football game played in the KC/St. Louis "market" will generate more revenue than an Alabama vs. Florida State national prime time game.
My point is adding a national power FORCES the networks to negotiate rights to nationally televise MORE games in the SEC. Who cares about regional TV markets or conference footprints when you practically DOUBLE the number of Nationally Televised games?

Because you can demand more money from the networks based on this. That's why.
If we don't protect our position, we'll lose it.

Apparently you don't understand.
Some people on this board believe it's actually a good idea to add irrelevant, slapdick programs that no one cares about just because they happen to sit near this market or that market.
Forget the fact that the market doesn't give a damn.

What happens when the "Nationally Prominent Program" goes on a 10 year skid? I can promise you that a few years ago when Missouri was undefeated through 10 games and FSU was barely making a bowl game that more people would tune in to Bama/Mizzou than Bama/FSU.
that's the problem with taking "Prominent" programs. Do you think that Miami will be getting much viewership after they lose 10 scholarships a year for 10 years and get a post season ban for 10 years?
You have to go by tv markets because you can negotiate now and get guaranteed money from the networks.

As opposed to the 90-100 years of mediocrity we're adding with these expansion teams?

Raiding the ACC makes that conference unstable. An unstable ACC gives the B1G many viable expansion options. While adding Va Tech and/or FSU makes the SEC TV contracts more attractive - I feel the B1G would end up the real winner in such a move.

It doesn't matter. The Big ten network gets 70 cents more for a tv set in a state with a Big ten team than they do in a state without one.

Which is kind of my point...
I'd like to see the ratings for Alabama vs. Arkansas nationally compared to Missouri vs. Their biggest opponent of the year.
Just because it may be a big market, doesn't necessarily mean it is a strong market.
The goal here should be to extend our product Nationally...not regionally.
Half of our conference schedule is worthy of national TV...and the other half is televised regionally...but if you have more powerhouses added to the conference, then that ratio begins to increase in attractiveness for the national networks. You're actually reducing the number of regionally televised games, while increasing your number of National TV games. That has to be worth more money.

Is the SEC planning to start a subscription-based network?
if that's in the cards then I'd agree.

No but we can go to ESPN, show them our new demo and then tell them to show us the money or we will start our own network

At that point, there simply aren't enough windows under the existing contracts to account for all games, so there would be enough football to make an SEC channel viable. That's one of the big reasons that the Big Ten added Nebraska--to ensure inventory for the BTN.
