re: RIP SEC on CBS

This is false. SEC wanted to re-sign with CBS. For $300m a year and CBS would get first pick of games week to week, as they had previously. CBS walked away. So the SEC signed another deal. Then CBS ended up signing with the Big10 for third choice of weekly games, and are paying $350m a year for it!. It is CBS who screwed the pooch.

They seriously underestimated how quickly the novelty of USC/UCLA/UW/UO will wear off. Those teams simply don't pull the viewers everyone seems to think they do.

Conferences live and die with their bottom 10-30%: South Carolina pulls 80k a game. What does Rutgers pull?
