I think the BTN goes out of its way to be balanced. The conference office plays a big role in the network and Fox which is the partner takes a back seat. I'm afraid the SECN will be nothing but a what's best for ESPN network.


SECN will never balanced.

Bama makes them a lot of money. They are going to highlight their most profitable school.


Can bama do it without the other schools? So They benefit more with the help of all the rest of the teams? It is not surprising that Bama will get all the pub. They should rename it the Bama channel. They need all the help they can get to make nicky like them.

Bottom line - if you win you get the lions share of the attention.


But wouldn't the publicity somehow keep them on top until the coach dies? As I said a few times before, the most talked about team, Bama, gets a free recruiting boost when those young guys keep seeing them more. If the NCAA is all about parity, then where is it here?

Its what happens when you win 3 championships in 5 years. Would be weird if they didn't talk mostly about them.

TD hates on LSU more than any other media outlet.

It's not nearly as bad as you make it out to be. The programming is going to be great. Especially for the other sports. It ain't a Gump fest, you're just too sensitive, IMO. I don't listen to Finebaum much and I'm live outside B'ham. His show is popular for some reason and it's not only Gumps. The SEC network is gonna be great. Will it take time to fine tune it? Of course. I would think a LSU fan would have thicker skin.

The SEC may dominate the B1G on the field, but when it comes to raking in TV dollars we're slaughtering you guys, lol...

Of course, the craven decision to add two schools to the conference ENTIRELY BASED ON TV MARKETS helps with that. I'm guessing the B1G could have picked off Missouri when they jumped to the SEC, but the corporate overlords at the B1G headquarters here in Chicagoland wanted the Big Ten Network playing all day in sports bars in DC and New York, so we got Rutgers and Maryland instead.

beating Alabama regularly is doable , here in Louisiana we have the recruits but we also have Nega Tigers if they learn to keep their nega mouth shut and become real Tiger fans we will beat Bama regularly !

People talking stupid shite like they won't watch the SEC N are retarded.


No, definitely not "retarded". Just have a lot to do in life that precludes me from staying in front of a TV all the time (thriving private practice, neat Italian GF, other places to go, etc.) I have probably been following LSU before you were born, and even went there - again, probably before you were born. Held season tickets there for a number of years. However, I have reached a point in life that money is really not an issue. Time is, and it's in short supply. I just happen to be fortunate enough to have a lot of past time interests. That said, when LSU kicks off for a game, I will either be in the stadium or in front of a large screen cheering them on.

Oh, by the way, did I mention the Italian GF? Wish I had met her 40 years ago. LOL Those little gals are something else.

If it is to be truly objective, it should give Vanderbilt equal airtime to Bama.

Why did they add that to the local BR station on 1045 at night? I can't imagine there is a strong demand for it here



What else would they air? MLB? MLS? Fantasy Football podcasts?

Get serious brah. You're better than that.
