CBS Just Broadcasted ONE SEC Game Each Week

Usually scheduled to began soon after the expected end of the Big 12 game on FOX. That meant a Saturday late afternoon start. CBS would also always air the Arkansas/LSU game which was always the Friday after Thanksgiving. Then also broadcast the Iron Bowl game the next day on Saturday between Alabama/Auburn. CBS continued the show that Friday after Thanksgiving game with Arkansas even after the SEC changed Arkansas' opponent to Missouri. CBS was contracted to get their 1st choice over ESPN of all the SEC games available on any given Saturday. That first weekend start of SEC Games you showed that ABC plans to broadcast appears a lot more far ranging in SEC Games than any weekend that CBS ever had. Probably a direct result of both ESPN & ABC being owned by Disney. ABC has an it is absolutely alright option to broadcast as many SEC games as wanted.. The ACC & Big-12 should be concerned about air time on ABC.

Been going on 4 about 15 years, remember back then when they trashed ACC 🏈

Wait to see Tony Altimore's revised chart at the end of the year
HouClone • 08/22/24 03:49 PM ET
Most of Altimore’s charts are of little value.

Hopefully by the end of the year I'll have my research done to counter it
HokieAl • 08/22/24 05:21 PM ET
Look forward to seeing it. If you can somehow factor in
HouClone • 08/22/24 07:38 PM ET
All depends on what data is available. I have a possible source in mind**
HokieAl • 08/22/24 07:51 PM ET
The Big 10 Network publishes ratings. Perhaps use that as
HouClone • 08/22/24 08:18 PM ET
Unfortunatley, ACCN is not in the ratings book**
CobbCountyHokie • 08/23/24 04:34 PM ET
Any insight as to why not?

LSU in Vegas is not a home game
HokieAl • 08/22/24 03:49 PM ET
Here is why I noted it as an SEC home game
CobbCountyHokie • 08/22/24 05:40 PM ET
LSU being listed as the home game IS important
dayooper • 08/22/24 05:05 PM ET
That's not different than any other season. SEC spin has been thick
HokieAl • 08/22/24 05:19 PM ET
What ACC or Big XII games would you plug in instead?**
Pylons • 08/22/24 03:32 PM ET
Let's think this one through. Let's say a 1-loss Clemson comes into Lane
CobbCountyHokie • 08/22/24 03:48 PM ET
To answer *your* question, I don't know.
Pylons • 08/22/24 03:58 PM ET
Yep. And this early in the season before we have playoff implications,
Femoyer Hokie • 08/22/24 02:51 PM ET
I think it's pretty much been confirmed that only the SEC will play on ABC.
Baltimore_Hokie • 08/22/24 02:37 PM ET
Yep. It's simple, the more that ABC has in its inventory, the more ABC will
