They aren't good games, but they will be shown on the SEC network. There is no more PPV. I'm sorry you can't do math.

In TV terms, there would be the same number of games within each teams TV market , and more of those games would be TV eligible for broadcast because they would be SEC vs SEC instead of SEC vs Sun Belt, WAC, MAC. , or even Division II schools. Why can’t you understand that?

The overall number of games nobody wants to watch will decline, and the overall number of games everyone would want to watch will increase.

Do the math.

A scheduling arrangement with the ACC would accomplish the same thing without reducing how many bowl-eligible SEC teams there are.

But you do lose games when adding games to the conference

Why do you think they would not broadcast those games?

How so? Fans want to watch their school play. doesnt matter who they are playing. With the SEC network, now they have the ability to watch those games, no matter where they are in the country.
