I thought the whole reason for throwing the door wide for the parasites and scorpions was so that overall value increases? Well apparently Snakey either can't read contracts or likely doesn't care because he gunning for the NFL JV commissioner. Just how bad did he tell us to F off and fall in line? It's very evident that we rolled over, and for no benefit whatsoever.

ESPN's deal with the SEC, which kicks in next year, is estimated to be for about $811 million per year for 10 years. It was signed prior to Oklahoma and Texas joining the conference but is believed to contain a pro rata clause that, in the event of expansion, increases the payment by an amount equal to what each school was set to get: $58 million per year per school would mean the new value of the contract would be about $927 million.
But this is where it gets thorny and where scheduling comes in.
The SEC has made the case to ESPN that this is not just two schools; this is Oklahoma and Texas. The SEC also can argue that by going to a nine-game schedule, it will provide more marquee games. For instance, Texas-Texas A&M every year, rather than twice every four years. Ditto for Alabama-Tennessee, Auburn-Georgia and other games that would be one of three annual games, rather than one in an eight-game format.
