Am I the only on e pissed that CBS didn't want to give the SEC it's true market value, but is willing to pay the fricking B1G $330M? I get the whole having LA and such, but the south has all the top CFB tv markets. This is a huge slap in the face to me

I was disappointed as well. I don't know if i've gotten used to CBS thru the years, but I think they do a better job than all the other networks. I don't know why they would drop us for the B1G, but they will regret that, I'm sure.

I bet Alabana losing 4 CFP’s (the most in college football history) hurt the SEC’s brand

CBS is overrated and always having the best game at 2:30 sucked arse.

CBS did produce a quality product but lets see what ABC has to offer. The SEC decided to go a different direction. Hopefully we wont have those 5 minute commercial breaks with ABC.

The BIG is a national brand. The SEC is not.

Like it or not you guys all probably know Ohio State or Michigan fans. while come up North and no one gives a shite about anything other than the occasional Bama Bandwagoner.

It's just the greatest song ever. I'm 49 and that cbs theme song was awesome going back to my younger years. It sucks that we won't have thar anymore. It is college football.

NBC's production of ND games is top tier.

Would have loved to see NBC pick up the CBS game but The Groomers at Disney have it now.

Pretty sure that CBS saw what Sankey pulled with ESPN and said there is no reason to get in a bidding war when Sankey and ESPN are already in cahoots.

As I have read about this, the SEC gave CBS the greatest deal in history in order to get the SEC national exposure. I believe that was done when Roy Kramer was the commish.

CBS never paid market value for what they received. It just so happened the SEC started on a great run at the same time.
CBS got a great deal for them and the SEC got great national exposure.

I agree CBS puts on a great production and I don’t know what they do different with the video but the field just looks better on one of their broadcasts. One would think other networks could at least figure that one out.

Big Ten might have played Sankey and the SEC
Three networks with their inventory and the SEC has to do whatever ESPN/ABC tell them, if ESPN puts more content on ESPN + I'm gonna be pissed!
