Did the relationship with CBS and SEC get sour?

umm yea.

when the league added teams and wanted to renegotiate based on increased inventory, more states etc.....CBS told the SEC to take a hike, contract is a contract

so this time when the negotiating window opened, SEC told CBS take a hike bitch, rememeber when you fricked us over the last 10 years....well you dont even get a chance now.

CBS has to have something to fill those time slots, they need inventory. Next best place is the big10 who happened to have negotiations open. they jumped on it.


i will say i will miss cbs but they fricked every school in the conference for over a decade now.

I do like how the big10 did things. taking on multiple partners and really making them bid against 1 another, but there is certainly value in having ESPN, the undisputed king, having exclusive rights to your games. Allows more channels and we will be hyped more.
