Calm down. The network doesn't launch until Mid-Aug.
Remember back in March fellow idiots were freaking out because (insert cable provider) had not agreed to carry the SEC Network yet and switched to Dish? Anyone with even the smallest understanding of negotiations knew that there would be no action from the other cable companies until the launch of the network approached. Like clockwork, you're starting to see the dominoes fall now that the launch is 1 month away.
Dish ponied up the (likely higher) price early to carry the network so they could get the simple folks to switch back in the Winter/Spring. Just like Cox; Comcast, Dish, and all other service providers in the south will get the network.

Out West we have been saying they would pick up the Pac-12 Network for over a year, always negotiating but it still has not happened. If they do not have the SEC and the Pac 12 I will have to cancel my Direct TV service for sure. Giving them until the 1st week in August.
