ESPN just fine without the big 10

Will CBS not show SEC games in 2023 since the B1G deal was announced last week?

ESPN knows who the most dominant conference has been since the invention of post season play to determine the national champions(BCS/CFP).

Since the BCS started (1998) an SEC team has won the National Championship 14 times by 6 different teams.

National Titles by Conference since BCS/CFP was created.
•ACC - 5
•Pac12 - “2” Both by USC
•Big12 - 2
•Big10 - 2 Both By OSU
•SEC - 14

As you see during this time the SEC has more national titles alone than the others have combined. Even if you don’t count Alabama the SEC still has more national titles (7) than the other conferences during the same time frame.

I'm not saying they are incorrect because it's far too early to tell (I mean what if OSU and USC win the next 2 national titles that will sway numbers for sure), but this obviously counts those incredible 3-2 games where people fall asleep on their couch for 4 hours and then ESPN says "this person watched all 240 minutes of the game!!"

I nap during CFB saturdays routinely and stay on one channel. Sometimes it's an SEC game, sometimes B1G or ACC.

“When ESPN’s new contract with the SEC starts in 2024, it projects that it will garner 63% of all college football viewership minutes for people between the ages of 18-49.”

So, basically the SEC got screwed with the deal we signed (again). If ESPN's own projections are anywhere accurate, we should be making significantly more than the B10 package. B10 would be at 37% viewership if not a single person watched an ACC, Pac 12, or Big 12 game.
