Bama will draw watchers, therefore it gets put on main channels.
Bama vs Little Sisters of the Poor does not maintain watchers at peak times, but does draw viewers at non-peak times.
It’s a business decision.
LSU doesn’t draw watchers like Bama does nationally, therefore when they play a shitty team, LSU is put on ESPN+, or, at best, the SECN.
This will continue to happen when Bama schedules bad opponents because they draw viewers during non-peak times, but blowouts will not maintain viewers at night peak game times.
That is my actual opinion for why that happens.

Probably right, honestly, though I'm not sure Alabama vs Generic G5 team really draws many more eyes than anyone else. It's gonna be almost exclusively the teams fans and that's it.
