So Sankey pretty much let the SEC be the appetizer lead-in to the Big Ten this season...

I mean WTF Sankey? CBS isn't even sending their A Team to Tuscaloosa this weekend, opting instead for Iowa Penn State.

Sankey got straight murdered on this latest TV deal. The worst thing he has done as commissioner.

ABC/ESPN are hot garbage at broadcasting games.

We lost out to Iowa and Pedo State? That's just embarrassing.

The relationship with CBS really went down in the later years, no idea the reason for that but not sure you can blame Sankey.

CBS got a discount for years from the SEC and didn’t want to match the ABC/ESPN bid. Not sure what Sankey is supposed to do?

Regarding the specific situation with commentators this weekend, it’s a lame duck year with CBS, what difference does it make?

I have reservations about the deal Sankey made (all with one broadcaster, deal signed before Texas and OU added, etc), but you guys who bitch endlessly need to put things in the proper perspective OR realize that ESPN has no better or worse political leanings than any network offering a deal.

We had 4 minutes of commercials before 1 play that was a 4th down punt just for them to go back to commercials for another 4 minutes.

SEC has become a joke in the span of a year.

1. Terrible broadcasts
2. Terrible on field product

We aren’t much above a G5 conference now. I expect viewership to decline and Disney will hemorrhage money and not be able to pay out the contract. This will lead to decline in revenue and the top teams will jump ship to ACC or B1G and the conference will implode like the PAC.

We are done. It’s a matter of time

The Florida Tennessee broadcast was top notch. That's what we're going to get next season.

As long as the checks keep coming from ESPN, I don’t care what the video quality is

Sankey needs to be fired. Costing conference untold millions of dollars with the sucking TV deal and bring in a parasitic OU sux.

I can understand inviting longhorns. They have a large fanbase.

Sankey's more worried about emblems on a state flag than TV rights.

Sure did. The Big Ten's visibilty feels ten times better despite the shitty product. Pathetic.
