Aubie16 1 Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 There has been a lot of discussion going on about next weekends games, and the networks/time-slots they could be in. I've seen conflicting stories of whether ESPN2 or LF get to pick the game first. Hopefully this link will help to clear up some of the confusion. In 1996 the SEC launched a league-wide football partnership with CBS Sportsas its exclusive rights holder. The deal gives the national network “first choice†to televise 12 weekly SEC regular-season contests through 2008 and the championship game. Most SEC games on CBS will be on Saturday afternoons in the 3:30 PM ET time slot. As part of its package, CBS may annually televise two SEC home games against non-conference opponents. In cases when an SEC team visits a nonconference opponent, television rights are granted to the home team’s conference. A school may appear a total of four times on CBS. Once the network makes its primary weekly selections, the rest of the SEC schedule is available for ESPN/ESPN2 or the SEC’s designated syndicator, Lincoln Financial Sports, to choose from (see next page). SEC Football Overview- How Secondary Telecast options Fall: 1st: ESPN – Up to 12 regular-season games per year (SEC or nonconference) – nine games on ESPN (5 must be Saturday night prime time), the remainder may be on ESPN2. 2nd: Lincoln Financial Sports – Game of the Week for 13 consecutive weeks. Each school to appear at least once. 3rd: Pay-per-view – Available to cable subscribers via encrypted or scrambled signals limited to home state of the two participating schools unless ESPN Game Plan also agrees to distribute nationally. The only manner in which the SEC permits UF to televise a game statewide is if the game was not selected by a network partner. Here are the possible games this weekend... Arkansas-Tennessee South Carolina-Florida Auburn-Georgia LSU-Alabama That is the order I think they will be chosen...but who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
