We now have 2 contracts, the CBS one and one with ESPN. CBS has first pick and then every single other game can be put wherever ESPN wants to put it among ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, and SECN.

Article about what games the SECN owns. Appears the SEC has done a good job of retaining rights to all their televised games

LINK
quote:

The SEC managed to retain copyrights on games dating back to the 1960s when it signed 15-year deals with CBS and ESPN in 2008, SEC Network associate commissioner Charlie Hussey said Wednesday during an appearance on Head to Head Radio in Mississippi.

Not sure what this means for A&M and Mizzou. However, I believe A&M owns all our tv rights for the SWC years. Just not sure on the Big 12 ones. Hopefully we do.
quote:

The SEC will also launch a re-tooled website July 1, which will be powered by ESPN.

This should be interesting. I think the current site sucks. ESPN has taken over management of it so hopefully it will be better. I'm not a fan of their web design but at least it's normal.
quote:

The conference will aggregate digital broadcasts produced by its 14 schools in one central hub at SECSports.com and SECNetwork.com.

Appears this will be the SEC "ESPN3" hub as well as the league website
quote:

"Authenticated" subscribers -- AT&T, Dish Network and Google Fiber -- will be allowed to watch the live and archived broadcasts on SECNetwork.com and the watchESPN application, Hussey said.
