Wow you are fvcking dense.

The SEC will exercise one of its options to adjust the current ESPN contract with the conference, commissioner Mike Slive told CBSSports.com

The conference is expected to ask for an increase in the rights fees on the current 15-year, $3 billion deal after the addition of Texas A&M and Missouri. CBSSports.com confirmed a Saturday.

No way Slive takes Mizzou or A&M if it wasn't already agreed on with ESPN beforehand. The numbers will be release when they officially join this summer.

ok sure..just like the Big 12 won't get that 28-30 it's fan claim is coming. Either ESPN gets on board or gets taken to arbitration...you katz don't know how St. Slive rolls. He's like Saban he gets what he wants.

SEC>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>ACC

Come on dude take off the glasses...no one will get market but the SEC will get a large bump here soon.

Do you have ANYTHING whatsoever to add to the conversation? No?

Your profile/avatar pic is extremely appropriate. You're just a maroon parrot spouting off ignorant aggy bullcrap you've heard elsewhere. Nothing to add. Just "WHHOOOOOOP, tu!, BIGXII sucks! $EC!$EC!$EC!" etc. etc. etc.

So we're likely looking at the following:

EAST
Pittsburgh
Notre Dame
Iowa State
West Virginia
N.C. State
Georgia Tech
Clemson
Florida State

WEST
Texas
Texas Tech
Baylor
TCU
Oklahoma
Oklahoma State
Kansas
Kansas State

You are negotiating with CBS for increasing the Tier 1 contract and with ESPN for increasing the Tier 2 contract. Here is the verdict from CBS (there are numerous article on this point):

"Sources think the conference will reach an agreement with CBS first. Those sources familiar with the discussions predict that CBS will wind up paying a prorated increase or slightly more to the SEC.

The network has balked at paying any type of significant increase, sources say, arguing that the addition of Missouri and Texas A&M does not change its deal.

CBS’s deal with the SEC, negotiated in 2008, pays an average of $55 million a year to the SEC over 15 years. A prorated increase would take the value of that deal up to $65 million a year. The SEC could generate additional revenue by adding more years on the end of the contract.

CBS still will carry the same number of football games each season as part of its package, and network executives are arguing that schools such as Alabama, Florida and LSU—not Missouri and Texas A&M—drive the value of the conference. Without additional inventory, CBS’s stance has been that it shouldn’t pay more solely because the conference added two new schools."

For idiots like USMCAG, a prorated increase means no increase in the per school payouts to member schools (just no dilution).

Again you katz outside the SEC don't know how he rolls. He got A&M and Mizzou because the money is already agreed upon. Just listen to Tony Barnhart(who worksfor CBS) online he'll give you the scoop on the money heading the SEC way.

Don't be daft. You don't have to renegotiate with ESPN about the SEC network. They don't own the tier 3 rights. When you go to ESPN and say want a look-in, it is for your tier 2 rights bucko.

The BTN has been a huge success. The schools got $7.2 million per this year. That is 5 years in. Payouts in years 1-3 were far lower. Texas will get $10+ million in the first year. Not bad for a failed network.
