re: SEC Network?

I too have a lot of concerns about how individual schools will have as much airtime as before. With no more Geaux Zone, Tigervision or Cox we have to rely on the SEC Network...so the game replay will be on at 2:00 AM on Tuesday ?
I think the ADs went along because of the money but who really will control content ?
I mean...the featured on air personality will be
Paul Finebaum ???
I don't think die hard LSU fans are going to like this initially.
For some reason this thing seems a pro Bama gig where the whole conference chipped in to set up what Texas had to do with their own money with the Longhorn network.
If I'm wrong I'll admit it.

You have to keep in mind it's the SEC Network, not the LSU Network. It may appear to be a "pro Bama gig" but that's where it ends: appearance. ESPN makes money from subscribers...they basically negotiate a deal with cable companies (such as cox) and the cable company agrees to pay x amount to ESPN per customer per month...this is where the BIG money comes from. So, knowing that, it's NOT in anyone's best interest to be "pro" any school if ESPN wants to add subscribers. For example, if the SEC Network is indeed "pro bama" the cable companies in Dallas probably won't be very excited about adding the network. Every single football game from all schools will be on ESPN or the ESPN family of networks.
