who knows at this point, but a buddy pointed out to me that there is a decent chance that game could be picked up for tv. Imagine that, a game against a 1aa team on tv. The historical perspective of the game could be appealing.
....still hard to understand how they will be able to show all 12 sec teams every Saturday. Say all 12 teams play OOC teams. Take away one for a bye week and one for a Thur nite game, how can ESPN show 9-10 SEC games on a Saturday? Just seems impossible. Will they tape-delay some games or something? Even with ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNClassic and ESPNU, I just don't see how they will do it. Will no other non-SEC college games be shown on ESPN any more?
First choice each week and I think 2 double headers. ESPN can sell rights to games that might not be as attractive to a national audience to someone like Raycom or FSN.
