They underestimated the CFB market 2 years ago. They were about to be left out in the cold.
Also ESPN didn't see the value in the B1G to pay more. So they stepped away.
Also, people see 3 networks for B1G. But the SEC exclusivly has ABC, ESPN, ESPN 2, ESPNU, SECN.
SEC is going to surpass the B1G in payouts when they go to 9 conference games and adds a streaming partner.

That is not true...... ESPN offered 380M for 7 years. CBS and NBC offered 350M each for 7 years. The commissioner of the BIG10 turned down ESPN's offer.
