Well pretty much every basketball game will be nationally televised, and baseball will have far more games televised. Kinda hard to claim "exclusiveness" for football when every game is already televised. Besides, CBS only has one game a week and they pay out the arse for it. Not sure why you'd want to kick them to the curb.

they really don't at all. They pay $55m for 16 games a year which includes the SEC championship game. Given ratings, it's almost free.
ESPN just paid $80m to both the Sugar and Rose for that one game annually. They pay $100m per game for MNF. In both cases, the average rating is about 2.5X the average CBS game making market for SEC T1 close to $400m. It's absurd how little CBS is paying.
