This, in a way, answers why ESPN has been so pro bama for the last two years. They needed to "brand" the sec network. ESPN doesn't love gumps, they love money.
ESPN has been "pro Bama" because Bama has been the best program over the last 6 years. I know you may not want to hear that, but it's true. If Auburn, OSU, Notre Dame, LSU, whoever, rips off a 6 year span like that, the major networks will be "pro (insert team)" at that time. Funny, these were the same complaints we heard 7,8,9 years ago except it was USC, not Bama, that LSU fans were whining about.
To the OP, the SECN is just another ESPN channel dedicated solely to SEC coverage. At least for now, there will be no noticeable changes except that there is no longer a "JP" game on some blurry non HD channel. That game will be on the SECN.
Gameday will still travel to SEC venues. CBS will still have the "big game" @ 2:30. ESPN will still have the second pick (though the coverage may say it's on the "SEC network"). Football wise, everything will be the same for the most part

I guess you'll have to wait until football season is over to determine their programming content. Since Alabama has historically sucked at everything other than football, gymnastics, and softball...you would expect to see very little of them after the football season has ended.
I'm guessing that won't be the case because I don't believe the SEC HQ will allow it. Just like the SEC's internet site, I'm sure Alabama will receive more than their fair share of coverage in other sports.
Do you really believe we play the baseball tourney in Hoover EVERY year because there are no other parks in the 11-state region? Do you think we have a bowl tie-in in Birmingham because it's a desirable city to host a game? The SEC HQ represents one of the 11 states and one (occasionally two) of the 14 member institutions.
