until the SEC goes to a 9-game schedule and adds ou and ut.  Then the TV contract will be much better than the B1G

Depends who else they add.

If the B1G could get ND, Miami, FSU and UVA to come, the money would soar.

I suspect UNC and UVA are attached at the hip, maybe NCSU as well.

Which conference has a better future?  SEC or B1G?  The USC/UCLA pair is a nice add, but Texas/OU are both elephants.  Then it would depend I think on ACC teams.

Yeah as the cable forced subscriber model dies off and less money flows in from BTN, and after the TX-OU additions and 9-game schedule are factored in, the SEC might surpass the B1G in money.  But they'll be pretty close, I don't really see a huge advantage either way, there.

As traditional linear programming diminishes, so will cable network profits.  Just a matter of fact.  The SEC and B1G will continue to make plenty of money, of course.  They own the content.

Might we see a day when a conference owns it's own "network" and folks have to pay to watch it?  I mean every sport would be on that network.

I'm not sure what you're getting at.  Both the BTN and SECN are currently structured as traditional forced-subscriber models.  They are running some non-traditional-non-purely-linear content on the "+" versions of their offerings, but those options get the lowest-rated matchups and are not driving much revenue.  The vast bulk of revenue for both BTN and SECN are still associated with the traditional but dying forced subscriber model.

That money will inevitably diminish.

The jury is still out on whether or not non-traditional offerings will be able to take up much of the slack.

The PAC is basically being forced to experiment with this right now.  I don't think it's going to work out well for them, but they also don't drive the eyeballs that the B1G and SEC do.

The only place anyone could view the sports of a conference would be on this channel (or live).  Dunno.

Maybe they make more getting "ESPN" et al. to handle it.

Sorry CD, my "I'm not sure what you're getting at" response was directed at Fearless, not you.  I totally get what you're saying.  I think the only two conferences that could do it would be the B1G and the SEC, but even then, I don't believe  you can get enough direct subscribers to make up the loss of revenue and exposure on the general sports networks.

The biggest viewership numbers in all of American sports television come from the NFL, and if the NFL hasn't managed to force ALL of their content onto their own network, then I don't believe anyone can.
