It is a FACT that ESPN has the Tier 2 rights for the SEC, and the put that on the network. You are 100% wrong when you claim that the Big Ten and SEC don't have tiered rights like everyone else. You think because the links you posted don't use the word "tier" that it means the don't have Tier 1 and Tier 2 rights. So let met get this straight. You think the Big Ten have Tier 3 rights, but not Tier 1 or Tier 2? Stupidity. EVERYBODY has Tier 1 and Tier 2 rights.Yes, it does change the issue with the ACC. The ACC does not have to buy back any rights. ESPN has to buy back the syndicated rights and that's it.Yes, the point is, ESPN owns all the content on that network, not the SEC. You keep telling me that ESPN won't pay "twice" for ACC content on a network. Well, ESPN puts the SEC's Tier 2 games on the SECN. ESPN was ALREADY paying for those rights. According to you, ESPN is paying twice for those rights, because those games were already being aired on other ESPN platforms. You keep trying to claim that b3ecause the SEC expanded and bought back the Tier 3 rights, that somehow invalidates the fact that 2/3 of the SECN content was ALREADY under contract. The games that came from expansion were ALREADY under contract. They were ALREADY being televised on other ESPN platforms. By your own definition, those games were ALREADY being monetized. ESPN, by your own definition, is paying twice for those games. The only games that ESPN did not already own and were not already being televised on other platforms were the 14 Tier 3 games. That's it. You are 100% wrong and you know it, and you just won't admit. Everybody can plainly see, from the link I posted, that the Tier 2 games for both the SEC and Big Ten appear on the conference network. Sorry, it's a 100% fact and you can't deny it.</blockquote>
