It is more than about money...
It is the fact that ESPN is devoting the prime time slots to the SEC...they admit to focusing on their prime investment.
Unlike last year, every single ABC game that has been announced (through week five,so far) for ABC features a SEC team.
Last year, there were 15 ACC vs ACC games on ABC.
With the addition of Texas and Oklahoma, Sankey pushed for more prime slots and ESPN will want to maximize SEC viewing.The ACC is cooked as a first rate conference....relegated to lesser channels and ACCN and ACCNX televised games.
On top of the SEC dominating ESPN TV...ESPN will go about their business of manipulating the polls...playing down teams, playing up SEC teams.
