sorry if this is old news:

we're going to ABC/ESPN

I just saw this on the ESPN ticker. What does everyone think about this?

Hopefully, it means that we won't have to deal with ESPN trying to screw the SEC again like when they were lobbying for a tOSU-Michigan rematch in the title game.

it's not "so long CBS"...The SEC just signed a 15 year deal with CBS as well.

They get first dibs as always.

ESPN gets everything CBS doesn't want. What it does mean however is "so long Raycom"...AND THANK FUCKING GOD for that.

no more verne?

Here's the CBS deal:

So if CBS still has the bulk of the rights to the SEC games, I doubt things will change much right?

oops... didn't see that about cbs. espn made it sound like they had the rights.

ESPN basically paid a shitload of money to have access to the rights that they've always had + those of Raycom.
