Before the SEC Network the SEC was set to make the least amount of money out of any Power 5 conference. That 2009 tv deal was shitty shite in a shitcan.

No thanks. I say we kick out Kentucky since 99% of Americans couldn't point that state out on a map.

Just like we bring the great state of Texas to the SEC Network, they boost the Tier 3 value via co-champion level basketball.

If we are going to kick out teams Kentucky and Texas A&M are not on the list.

The OP said who do we add after Ole Miss gets the boot (13). I said drop Aggie to make it even (12) and shuffle divisions.

Yes, because the millions watching the Derby this weekend and drinking our bourbon are totally unaware of our existence.

You don't even like The Office. You're the fricking worst.

Tennessee will just play in the East and West. With their stacked roster, it won't hurt them at all.

No death penalty, but they will have many years of no postseason and losing regular seasons to suffer through.

Freeze will not survive this. Archie needs to start looking at resumes.

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).

Sounds good, but instead of Aggy, let's just go ahead and boot Mizzou. That way we don't have to switch any teams' divisions, we can go back to playing two rotating opponents instead of just one and the only footprint we lose is Missouri instead of Texas.
