The SEC Network has been perhaps its most profitable enterprise in the last 5 years.
ESPN's issue is a subscriber problem choosing al a carte channels.
There was literally a petition with people demanding the SECN in their area and cable system. It was described as the most successful launch in cable tv history.
Safe to say the SECN is insulated from the bloodbath going on today.

That and ESPN is paying something like 1.5B per year for the NBA and 1.9B per year for the NFL. They have over-extended themselves and the employees are paying for their stupidity.

OK, but I am talking about more than just the SECN; I am talking about the deal we have with them in total
I just can't see them ponying up another $2 Billion, nor do I expect that anyone else will either
But anything can change in 8 years
