I was told the additions of Mizzou and A&M would bring us more televisions and thus more money.
where's the money, Lebowski??

Pretty sure the addition of aTm and Mizzou didn't add any more televisions to CBS' viewership.

SEC television sets it did.

No he has a point, all the TV sets in Missouri would be tuned into a Illinois/Kansas/Nebraska game while Texas would have viewers tuning into Texas/OU/Baylor when either of those teams were competing with Mizzou/aTm for viewers.

That does it! We're adding Boise State and Delaware!

So the National CBS game will now be seen in all 50 states including Texas and Missouri as opposed to previous years when it was shown in all 50 states including Texas and Missouri?

do you think ratings for SEC games on CBS will be higher in Missouri and Texas than they were before you were both added?
Posted on 5/14/13 at 4:32 pm to Latarian
Yes. I'm sure the local affiliates will adjust their ad rates accordingly.

Uhhhhh Arkiesaw, meet SEC Network.
Your 5 TVs in that backwards state won't add much, but you're welcome from the states of Texas and Mizzou.

Are you seriously that dumb. It's CBS. Almost everybody get SEC saturday games. The money is about SEC NETWORK. Have u been in jail the last 2yrs?

so expansion enabled ESPN to own our television network and not get any extra $ from one of the largest networks in the country?

0.1/10

It is also significant that they lost exclusivity of the 2:30 time slot. And are still paying the same...

clearly a troll job.

The terms of the deal are expected to remain intact ($55 million per year until 2023-24), with CBS lifting the exclusive 3:30 p.m. broadcast window so the SEC can air football games on its ESPN-operated channel on Saturdays.
you are smart enough to understand this was an important change to the CBS deal.
even better is the SEC didnt have to add any years to the contract.
When that deal is up CBS is going to have to pay out the arse to keep the game of the week or risk it going to ABC/ESPN.

I liked the part about there being no increase, in money, because the teams added were not bigger draws than existing teams in the league.
I guess that sort of destroys the old east Texas blow hole claim about how adding aTm raised the profile of the conference, huh?

This is the equivalent to keeping your existing fixed salary, but only having to come in to work from Tuesday-Thursday. The fact that CBS can no longer keep ESPN from showing 3:30 SEC games is the critical piece.

it was the SEC network deal...
and when this contract is up (with no additional years) if CBS wants it they will have to pony up. I had no idea they were getting the SECCG at such a fraction of the market value.

You're a fricking idiot.

This article pretty much predicted as much in Aug. 2011. I suppose even a better record for A&M failed to be seen as a permanent needle-mover by television executives.
Remember, this has always been about money, especially since A&M needs it so badly because the previous athletics department was run into the financial ditch (and the school administration took away the AD's checkbook-signing power, so to speak).
Texas A&M's Addition To SEC Wouldn't Mean Much To TV Contracts

And then yesterday, of course (from the OP):
Just not a big enough name to justify an increase.

quote:
"Adding one or two teams does not cause the entire agreement to be renegotiated," said Neal Pilson, former CBS Sports president, who now consults on television deals.
While Pilson said it's hard to argue that A&M's addition would dilute the conference, he says the Aggies have "minimal impact." "There are smart people at both ESPN and CBS and I would anticipate that they foresaw this type of contingency," Pilson said. "Based on their record over a period of time, it doesn't appear like Texas A&M is going to be in the top tier of teams in the SEC. So if there's any adjustment to the TV deals, I would anticipate that it would be a very modest adjustment, if anything."
If A&M was added as an equal partner, the TV deals would have to be bumped up by 8.3 percent in order for the SEC members to make the same money they make now off the TV deals. It's not a guarantee that will happen.

What does this tell us? Well, for one thing, it tells us that the SEC already does pretty well in Houston. I’m not sure it needs Texas A&M as a ratings booster, at least in this market. In 2008, in fact, Alabama-LSU beat Oklahoma-Texas A&M in the same time slot, 6.1 to 4.1. Of course, the Aggies will draw better when they play better,and they’ll have more prime time games and more ABC games, presuming the Big 12 continues as a 10-team league. At this point, however, they’re not a prime time property.
