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

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

I'm pretty sure I read that we signed over our rights to all of our Big 12 games as part of our exit negotiations.
ETA: I'll try to look tonight and see if I can find anything about it.

Meh
(As in maybe the gap in history would be nice)

Even though it would really suck to not have access to some of our classic Big 12 games the bulk of the games against SEC we played were from our SWC days. Those are probably the more likely games that would get aired or put up for streaming anyway. I wouldn't be surprised if ESPN was able to work out a deal for specific games like vs Texas in '99 or K-State in the Big12 title game though.
