I have Comcast. We get the Big10 Network but not the Pac-12. I don't really care about either one of them. I am sure Comcast will carry the SEC Network......but if they don't, I will be taking my money elsewhere.

Comcast will eventually carry it, I'm sure, but it's a timing issue right now. There's a $45 Billion merger on the table, and this SEC Network is just a a $1.30 per subscriber piece of that pie.

There will be about 30 million subscribers in the merged Time Warner-Comcast network.

SEC Network wants $1.30 per month, per subscriber.

So the 30 million Comcast customers could pay $15.60 each a year, and have a total worth $468 million for the SEC Network. Most likely Comcast will talk ESPN down from that $1.30 number and they'll have some ability to do that since they have so many subscribers.
