I would not bank on more than 24 in the SEC or B1G. There isn't enough

money made by the remaining 16. If ESPN and Fox wanted 64, they could have gone with ACC having 16 and either B12 or PAC having 16. That doesn't seem where we are headed IMHO. They want to shave off 16 from being tier 1 payment wise. Two ways to make more money, make more profit or cut the cost without cutting the revenue. ** Edited by Stech at 5/16/2023, 8:10:10 PM
