Will be interested in seeing if they buy out the remainder of the CBS contract.

While there is some good from this, I think that this could be bad down the road. With ESPN controlling everything SEC. They will have us (fans) by the balls. If they want to jack up the prices, they can. What happens in a few years when they decide to move the mid day game of the week from ABC to ESPN. The Championship game is now on ESPN, no longer available over the air with an antennae, like you once upon a time were able to do.
Just playing devils advocate, but I think putting all your eggs in one basket can come back to bite you in the ass.

Yes that why I went to a motel twice to see Bama in the playoff. The only time I didn't was the first year.

I'm hearing the number will be north of $400M.
