the difference in money they'll make by showing the Bama game over the overs will more than enough to cover said fines.
Ratings dont effect revenue. Those contracts are done well before gametime.

Don't argue with idiots or you will start to sound like one.

They make their money off of advertisements. The bigger the game, the more money they can charge for advertisements. See the Super Bowl*

Ratings determine how much the advertisers pay - so, yes, they have a huge effect on revenue. CBS cherry picks the games they think will have the biggest national audience. That means Bama and Florida (and Tennessee when they are good). Lord knows what they would do if South Carolina and Arkansas were the highest ranked teams in the SEC.

So you want me to believe CBS could make just as much money showing Vanderbilt every week as they do showing Bama, UF, LSU, etc...
Yes contracts with advertisers are done before the game, but the price they pay is based on potential ratings which are much higher with the top teams playing versus the bottom of the league. Fans outside the conference will tune in to watch Bama play simply because they are hoping someone upsets them. I admit I watched many a USC game over the last 6 or 7 years hoping to see them get beat.
