Basically, the SEC will be providing way more filler programming for all ESPN networks.
Yeah, I 100% agree.
- if an ACC game is rained out, instead of re-airing some spring game for the 74th time, they can put on a live SEC game
- if you get to the final weekend of the season and had two SEC teams that were having disappointing seasons, just switch to another game
- if LSU is throwing a no-hitter midweek, you can break into that game
By not needing to schedule a production crew for games and owning them all (instead of people like Sun or FSN or CSS), you really do give ESPN a ton more flexibility to fill in potential dead air or highlight the SEC

Which is why I think Notre Dame went to the ACC. ESPN may not have football 100% for they Irish but what they did lock down was everything else. Irish have a prebuilt national brand and I have a sinking feeling ESPN will be happy to exploit it. Wasn't it the Irish who invested heavily on local production capacity like 2 - 4 years ago?
