agree with you but I think this is the future. Imagine we have an SEC network up. Instead of one series a weekend Thu-Sat we will probably have two. We may also see Mon games from those teams playing Thu bc then you can fill doubleheaders on Mon, Tue, a game Thur and maybe 3 on Sat and 2 on Sunday on the SEC Network.

That's a lot of live programming to fill a relatively dead period beginning in March. You can use softball to fill in a lot of the gaps. The good is how much will be aired but it will take creative scheduling to get it there. And honestly if we were still in school we'd love the Thu night national tv games.

Possibly, but I tend to think that Thursday will be kept for the showcase series. It's quite possible that the SEC network will be more than one channel--while the BTN only has one, the Pac 12 has a national channel and six regional. I think the SEC may go with an in-between approach: 2 channels, one labeled West and the other East. That way, you can have two games simultaneously, which will be kind of important at times in football and basketball season.
