It's fascinating when you invent a narrative, attribute it to someone else, and proceed to disagree with the statements of your own creation?

R.I.P. Jefferson Pilot Sports. How will kids these days know about the burgers at Huddle House, with a side of Texas Pete? :skip: :drool:

Some SEC Network numbers to think about: (Check Outkick the Coverage for more if you're interested).

There are 30 million cable/satellite/etc subscribers in the SEC footprint. Just on subscription fees alone, you're looking at revenue of $468,000,000/year. And that's before you factor in subscriptions from out-of-footprint folks, or advertising dollars. They're probably looking at $600 million in revenue in year 1, conservatively. If they get onto every set in their footprint (and they likely will), that is.

It's hard to say how that will be split between the networks and the league, but it is going to be substantial money to each school, split evenly. Let's say just a quarter of the revenue goes to the league (which is probably low).

That's still an additional $10+ million/year for each team in TV revenue.

And it will only bring in more cash as time goes on.

This may be the stupidest theory you've ever posited on this board...and I don't say that lightly. The mere suggestion that the other conferences would be capable of banding together against the SEC is hilarious...to say nothing of the fact that they wouldn't even want to.

In case you haven't noticed, every conference that has its act together either has, or is currently building, a conference network. The rest of the conferences are either too dysfunctional, too weak, or both to organize themselves let alone form some sort of coalition.

I'm referring to the tards in the SEC fan base (is there another kind?) who have te delusion they'd make something like 60m while every other major competitor convulses like a fish dying on the beachhead. And it's a stupid concept because yes, the SEC also needs the other major conferences for competitive needs. And those conferences wouldn't operate in a tilted environment. Now if you aren't one of those tards dreaming up such ideas, I'll exempt you.

Care to offer up a quote as an example?



Just kidding...I know you make everything up.

Read the comments on Travis article, dork.

I did. Show me which ones resemble your post. There are only 28 comments. It should be pretty easy to cut and paste them all.

Huddle house is disgusting

Well, Texas Pete isn't great hot sauce, the Daves were terrible commentators and Mississippi State was never very good. That's JP in a nutshell. I do kind of miss it, though.

But Texas expects everyone in the Big 12 to operate in a "tilted environment"....and the Big 12 does.....and no fish appear to be dying there...although they did come very, very close.

$1.30 per?

lol, good luck with that

No brah....Travis was talking $3/per at the end of his column:


At $3 a month -- a number that's also not unrealistic -- the SEC Network would go over a billion dollars in revenue just from the 11 state footprint.



He's clinically insane. I would bet even money that he is actually masquerading as Saul Good on this board.

Maybe he should do some research.
