Maybe a SEC TV Network...
- Thread starter dawgstudent

Would they be like the Big 10 and sign an agreement with Fox Sports to help produce and set up the network and its programming? If that happens, I could see Fox going after the network deal for SEC football, being they have the BCS and no regular season football.
with the tv contracts expiring 08-09, they would probably have to rush to get the channel launched. they're making money hand over fist with their current tv deals, so why not renew them for a few more years and see how the big 10 sorts out its distribution problems? don't get me wrong, i would love an sec network, but i think they'll (wisely) evaluate the big 10 network in another year or two. plus, you've got the comcast v. nfl network/directv bickering going on, and distribution will obviously be the key to success, so maybe waiting is a good idea.
i don't know how long the current tv deals typically run. if they're 10 year deals, then a network could come sooner rather than later.</p>

I guess then you could see our games against Southeast Louisiana in football- not that it would necessarily be a bad thing.
