Head of SEC Network lays out the plan

Key quotes from Justin Connolly interview:

"I've been on a tour of the SEC schools for a game and I'm excited for Saturday."

"In order for the SEC Network to be a success, we need to lean on the schools for content. Forming relationships is key."

"We want to serve all fans of the SEC so there is a delicate balance needed. We can't focus on just one or a few schools."

"Having Paul Finebaum is a great opportunity for the network. People will get to see what he knows about football nationally."

"There is no doubt teams will be on a rollercoaster with Finebaum, but that's good for the network."

"We are going to open the network with the SC-A&M game next year. I wouldn't mind seeing Manziel out there in that one."

"AT&T Uverse is already on board with the SEC Network. We're in advanced conversations with other distributors as well."

"These distributors absolutely take feedback from their customers. If people want the network, they need to let them know"

"The SEC Network will be very different from the Longhorn Network. The quantity of coverage will be on par with ESPNU."

"Something different about every place in the SEC. The game environment is unique everywhere, but all have passion."

"We're trying to surround fans with what they want. The digital aspect of things plays a big part in that."

"We get more feedback from people at weddings on Saturday's during football season about the WatchESPN app every week."
