Markets is still viewership.

But also people are getting it wrong. "Florida" and "South Carolina" aren't TV markets. Clemson isn't in any SEC TV markets and neither is Tallahassee.

It's not though. The debate about "markets" originated with the Big Ten Network, ie. forcing people in a metro area to purchase the channel without actually wanting it. This is why the Big Ten added Rutgers and Maryland. This is a cable-centric business model and it's not really sustainable now. People who want BTN are going to get BTN and people who want SECN are going to get SECN. The money is in the ads/media deals now.

The SEC is trying to create viewership-valued matchups and we'll end up winning this. B10 is stuck in the cable era
