I see this deal as a way for Fox to get their foot in the SEC door. With so much pending uncertainty with the Big 12, Fox needs a fall back plan if the Texas conference goes belly up

I hope so. I don't want to watch our next game against them on Fox. Fox is awful. Not quite as bad as NBC, but pretty close. It always looks like a low-budget indie production. I have no opinion on other sports on Fox, but I can't stand the football games.
