conference watched several others succeed and fail while waiting for our own tv contracts to expire


And that is where you fail- the contract wasn't expired. It ran almost another decade, it was re-upped in 2009.

Without us to force a look-in on the contract there is no SEC Network and the conference is locked in a terrible media deal. Based on the 2009 deal the SEC was the worst paid Power 5 conference until like 2025.

Without us, there is no SEC Network. Period.

You are welcome.

Not only would we have renegotiated the Network would have existed with or without you. Hell, if your argument was that we needed an expanded footprint (which we didn't) we could've picked Baylor, TCU, etc. or gotten into North Carolina, Virginia, and the DC area among other regions.

Again, you helped make the launch more profitable and expanded the launch but don't act like you're Texas and this is the LHN. The world doesn't revolve around you.

Frick you & the shitty sec network(ESPN sequel). Their programming sucks as bad or worse than the flagship network.
If it wasn't about the damn money they could've stayed at 12 teams and left the whole damn thing alone.
