CBS isn't giving up the game. Talk of it being on ESPN is complete nonsense. Question is whether or not CBS can get it in primetime.

CBS has already had their night game. So they will have to buy it from ESPN

Correct. I’m surprised how many in this thread don’t know how CBS/ESPN and the SEC tv contracts work. You obviously do, though.
You are also correct in that CBS is trying to work out a deal with ESPN to allow CBS to move this game to night. The LSU-Florida game given to ESPN may have been the first “payment” of the deal.
ESPN has to be compensated for allowing CBS to roll into their primetime timeslots that they have exclusive rights to.
