As I have read about this, the SEC gave CBS the greatest deal in history in order to get the SEC national exposure. I believe that was done when Roy Kramer was the commish.

CBS never paid market value for what they received. It just so happened the SEC started on a great run at the same time.
CBS got a great deal for them and the SEC got great national exposure.

After all is said and done, the B1G is still the rust belt. The south is this country's future; Michigan and Ohio the past.

The national exposure wasn't really needed, honestly. Well maybe, if you factor in the added revenue allowing SEC schools to get the best coaches like Meyer and Saban. Even with that, the SEC will always have a demographical advantage over the rest of the nation not including Clemson because the best players in the country are found in the south.
