Now consider this line from another article.

How ESPN's struggles could derail college football's exploding revenue

Just look to Conference USA for how that could play out.

No conference has been impacted worse by the ramifications of television money than Conference USA over the last 15 years. In 2005, Louisville, Marquette, Cincinnati and Texas Christian were all members of the conference only to leave for greener pastures in the Big East.

Aresco.

ESPN is locked into SEC until 2034-35. So we're getting ours. If they start negotiating better and get rid of some non-mainstream sports content and lord knows some of the nonsensical shows that just seem to repeat themselves they should be able to see that the best conference in the nation gets their just rewards. I just hope they remember there are plenty of sportscasters that could still save them millions. I have a few suggestions.

Got about as much chance of being a power 6 as the Sun Belt.
