What so toxic about allowing universities to control their third rights.
Nothing
Alabama, Kentucky, and Ohio State all control their Tier III
However all 3 are smart enough to pool their Tier I (major networks) and Tier II (conference networks) to enhance their Tier III (school controlled). Where the other four P5's figured out early is multiple schools limit the down when the primary schools are in down cycles. If you have say a 12 team conference (which allied a CCG) then you need 3 alpha schools so 1 will carry the load in any given year.
Alabama and Kentucky (both now JMI if memory serves) both pull in about 15 million per year in their Tier III but as conference leaders knew taking a bit less on Tier I and Tier II for the conference smoothed out their cash flows. Big point was they gave up the ego issues of there singular for the cash flows of the many. Much smarter long term except you have to keep the ego in check, austin and to some extent norman, never got this.

Problem with the SEC is that they are locked into their deal with ESPN/ABC.
OU and UT would lose money if they joined the SEC and now the ACC.
The third tier rights you speak of is not media rights unless of course if I am wrong I believe the SEC network controls all football games not televised on ESPN/ABC or CBS.
Are other SEC games televised on other media outlets
