It pays to be smart.
Just ask us, 10 years later.

CBS got the SEC for practically nothing all those years. That wasn't going to happen again.

I don't believe they really care anymore.

Just buy the damn pregame song.

They have the NFL and that is enough for them

I don’t think CBS was making that much money airing one game a week. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have needed to air 237 commercials every game to make money. Plus, they would have reupped if they were making huge profits on their SEC contract. They weren’t.

Hoping ESPN/ABC up their production quality for the game of the week… I am going to miss the SEC being on the best broadcast in sports.
Maybe ESPN will hire some of the CBS producers

ESPN’s best crews - booth, sideline, production - are as a good overall as the SEC on CBS A crew. They’re doing a lot of games every weekend so the lower tier productions do suffer. I’m not worried about the top game’s quality at all though.
CBS simply could not afford the asking price for the 12-15 games per year and the first pick rights. I wish Danielson all the best calling MWC and Pac-12 games.

I had heard at the time that many sports media outlets were predicting that ESPN would buy CBS's contract out. Something around 55 million at the time, I bekieve. I guess CBS thought twice about that.

Are you kidding? They made a freakin fortune.

Yes, just $55 million total for 14 regular season SEC games and the SEC title game, a grand total of 15 games.
That equates to roughly $3.7 million per league game.
That’s insanity.
Putting that number into perspective, ESPN will pay over $110 million per Monday Night Football game. And the audiences aren’t that dissimilar. An average Monday Night Football game on ESPN draws about twice what an SEC game in the afternoon draws on CBS.

Huh? If you can make money you wanna maximize your profits.Exactly what CBS did.
Why do ya think they load up on commercials for Super Bowls?

CBS has the best camera work and shots. I’d actually like to see games in Austin and Norman like that.

Disagree.Thought CBS was far superior even vs ESPN's top crew.

CBS production is so good it makes us all look like NFL teams, even the shitty ones

Having the announcers at the game needs to be required

ESPN will absolutely be a decline in overall broadcast quality. Same when they got the NBA from NBC. And they will have shitty intro/bumper music too. 
Posted on 7/29/21 at 6:27 pm to geauxnavybeatbama
Makes you wonder if NBC will continue the Notre Dame contract after 2025.

Do you think the sips will see that fine print line in their contract that Beth Mowins will do their first 10 games?
