Articleon the Athletic: SEC is a ratings machine for ABC
Key points:
SEC contract is still undervalued. They should have gotten more $$$, considering the ratings they delivered.
SEC will dominate all ABC time slots. Ratings say there is no reason to show any other conference.
CBS played their hand poorly. They are paying more for the B1G 2nd or 3rd game than they paid for the SEC 1st game, and are getting smashed in the ratings.
Not enough marquee games outside the SEC to drive ratings anywhere else.
