The SEC is expected to announce its new TV deal later today with ESPN/ABC.

CBS dropped out of the bidding at $300 million per season.Currently CBS pays $55 million per season.

This is from last December:

I thought ESPN was pretty strapped for cash after some bad TV Rights deals. Are they in better shape than a few years ago?

I'm sure they feel they will be able to earn more marginal revenue with this.

They'd throttle them.

I don't doubt that at all. I'd just like to see CC have a game that give them a legitimate shot to qualify.

Sarah’s consistent accurate range is anything inside of 35. 👍

I hate when Power 5 is said. Some might think  it's only dates back 9 years. Others will say what's a Power 5. Last, it's not even an official term.

How's this: Sarah Fuller becomes the first woman to score a point for a football team in the ACC, SEC, Big Ten, Big Twelve or Pac 12?

Some might think that sentence is unwieldy. Others will say what's a Big Ten doing with fourteen schools? I guess at least the conference names are official.  :-\

Kevin Sumlin is out at Arizona after last night’s 70-7 loss to ASU.

$7.3 million buyout
$10.4 million buyout 2017 Texas A&M

He’s just behind Charlie Weiss at ND, $18.9 million, and Will Muschamp at Florida and South Carolina, $21.8 million. (Steve Berkowitz)

I'm thinking 'you're fired' is a lot less painful when it's followed by 'enjoy your $17.7 million.'

I was quoting the article's headline not you. Major conference? That can then go back decades further.

Johnny Manziel made Sumlin a lot of $$$.

Kliff Kingsbury made Sumlin a ton of money. Ignited his offense in Houston to get him the A&M job and then made it potent as hell with Manziel in College Station. The two of them leaving turned that offense impotent in a hurry.

And Sumlin could never manage a defense or put together the staff to build one, just relied on outscoring the other team. He couldn’t do the offense part on his own after that.

Also, I knew he was dead man walking in Tucson when he inherited Khalil Tate, one of the most electric weapons in CFB who was a running cheat code...and tried to make him into a pass heavy QB cause he couldn’t tailor an offense to him.

If Sark has gotten sober and his life together, I think he could be a great option there. Lower expectations than UW or USC and he just spent the last few years learning how to run a program under a legend. He’s still only 46, lot of time to turn his career around

He’s due $6MM next year at a top 10 job. Nobody anywhere near UT prestige is gonna be looking at him, much less somewhere that can pay his salary and/or buyout.

UT would love that. They could get rid of him without paying the buyout.
