Pretty sure it was better than the Big 12 deal, which allowed a major program to only have 6 television appearances in the 2009 season, 2 on basically pay per view.

Exposure-wise, yes. No one but Notre Dame has a deal like the SEC CBS deal for expoure.

Money-wise? Nope. The CBS Tier 1 deal is WAY under market (on purpose to get exposure), and the 2009 ESPN Tier 2 deal was way under market too.

Its been a while since I did the math, but what I remember was the SEC was scheduled to make around $16 million per team before expansion, while the B1G, PAC and even the Big 12 were all over $20 million a year. Only the ACC possibly had a worse deal (they were working on it at that time).
