CBS will walk away from the SEC

SEC Football Leaving CBS After 2023, Likely For ESPN/ABC
CBS will walk away from the SEC when its contract ends after the 2023 football season, and all indications are that the package will move to ESPN/ABC. CBS decided to exit the negotiations for college football's most-watched TV package after making an aggressive bid in the neighborhood of $300 million per season -- a massive increase from the $55 million it currently pays annually. CBS Sports execs decided that it made more sense to invest the money they would have paid the SEC into other sports
The decision to move away from CBS carries some risk for the SEC, especially considering that it has been college football’s most-viewed package for more than 10 years running. The conference will go from a network where it is the only college football conference to one where it will be one of many conferences.

Well unless they are permanently adding a second NFL game each Sunday and/or getting the exclusive rights to TNF, then nothing out there will give them anywhere near the return.

I mean it'll be Fowler and Herbie for the big games, but okay.

This is definitely the biggest sports broadcasting shift since the SNF/MNF shift from ESPN/ABC to NBC/ESPN in 2006.

Hopefully this doesn’t give more leverage to ABC to not put in $$$ bid. Still need that TV money rolling in.
