re: Someday swap CBS for ABC?

If ESPN got a primetime slot for game of the week and had the same deal where no other conf game starts during it, we'd play a ton of day games. Be careful what you wish for.


This. We would play a ton of day games.

No. ESPN would likely not want this. They would want to over-saturate! ABC would get the best game while ESPN/2/U would get games as well as SEC Network. LSU would almost always end up at night.

But I think the SEC itself likes its biggest game to be unopposed by other SEC games. That's the likely issue. Maybe the league would settle for, say, their third choice game each week unopposed on the SEC Network to provide that afternoon exclusivity AND boost demand for the channel...
