ESPN already knows the distribution model for their valuable SEC Network

Would guess they're looking at some crap deal for the ACC to keep us around, but pay us the absolute minimum amount of money. ACC football is seen as nothing more than "filler" for ESPN, and our precious basketball is seen as nothing more than being on par with SEC basketball. I'm totally basing this on what I saw ESPN do this past season. SEC BB got as good, if not better prime time spots than the ACC.

Baseball - ESPN is "all in" for the SEC.

This situation is what the "look in" is designed to address. -- HOO86 06/21/2016 8:57PM

Do you think it is realistic for the deal to double during a look-in? -- Colonel Jessup 06/21/2016 4:50PM
