This doesn't surprise me because the relationship has been on thin ice since CBS wouldn't renegotiate the network deal after expansion. CBS is currently paying 55 million a year for the game of the week and offered 300 million to continue the deal but evidently ABC/ESPN has offered more and FOX is putting together a package.

When the SEC did the original deal with CBS it was considered the benchmark deal for college football and it opened the door for future deals making the other P5 conferences a lot more rich. In 2023 the SEC will set the new standard and make serious bank.

You're all welcome and Merry Christmas.

Gary Danielson calling Colorado State vs Fresno State would be such poetic justice.

Or they can let Jerry’s brother Gary Seinfeld continue doing an awful job of calling games.

And I hope he gets Beth Mowens as his sidekick.

Danielson's deal will up before 2023 and ESPN will snatch him up so he can call the SEC on ABC in primetime!

Whoever takes CBS' place in '23 will have to start printing the money now...

So, does CBS show anything other than SEC games??

Are they just giving up that part of the market??

ABC/ESPN is going to try and buy out the remaining 4 years on CBS contract

By 2023 either cable networking will be back as the only option

By 2023 every single thing will be a streaming app service.

ABC will regionalize the SEC again.
