The SEC athletic directors and high profile coaches are in Destin for their annual meetings this week. One of the top items for discussion is the ongoing negotiations between the SEC and its TV Partners (CBS, ESPN, ESPN2, LF Sports/Raycom, Fox Sports South, etc.)
Among the more interesting issues would be the formation of an SEC TV network similar to the Big 10 Network. This will be an interesting topic to watch over the coming days.
Personally, I think we should ditch RayCom and have MTV broadcast the 12:30 pm games with Rob and Big as the play by play crew. The coverage couldn't get any worse as MTV has to own working cameras from the 21st century, and the commentary comedy would go way up vs. what the Daves currently give us.
Do work.
