Having only 12 teams also means fewer slices of the pie. Unlike the B12, they have a solid footprint with growing states, a natural moat, and monopoly pricing power.
This is why we shouldn't have done the deal with ESPN. The coverage and immediate guaranteed money in the short term will be great, but 10 years from now we will know we signed a deal with the devil and wish we owned 100% of SEC network

While I agree about 90% here the problem is the 3 issues that are problems for the footprint.
#1 no moat
#2 no monopoly in big states
#3 smaller footprint compared to B1G and PAC
