re: Apparently SEC officials got furious at CBS for its analysts suggesting Bama bias.

CBS's complaint is that the games are artificially extended by longer and more frequent commercial breaks than a game on any other network.

I have no idea why the SEC acquiesces to this.

The conventional wisdom answer is always "money", but nobody will ever convince me that they couldn't demand the same price for the network package with more common sense break agreements - meaning keeping some actual coherency to the pace of the fricking football game as it is meant to be played.
