Because the sec network is charging too much
Why not let viewers CHOOSE then a-la carte. I have a feeling many southerners will choose to pay a few bucks extra a month esp during football season.

Oh, you want to pick and choose which channels you get?

That is not the doing of the cable company, that is the doing of ESPN.
ESPN doesn't want $10 bucks from the percent of people that get the premium channels. They want $1+ from EVERYONE subscribed to cable in SEC states.
If they give in and allow it on premium channels, the miss out on a larger pie. I wouldn't be surprised if that is allowed in non-SEC markets though.
The whole thing that drives the conference network concept as defined by the Big 10 is to milk the shite out of your base.
If we could chose some people would chose no football at all (like a woman that never watches sports), then ESPN 1 and 2 would also be screwed and the huge pile of money the SEC gets from them each year OUTSIDE the SECN would go down the shitter.

why do people think this would somehow give them cheaper TV?
there is ZERO chance you could get a channel like SECN for less than $50-$100 a month if that happened.
ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPNU would cost even more.

Different issue altogether.
You asked a question, you got the correct answer.
FWIW, I agree with you on allowing consumers to have more choice.
