Why would those conferences be upset? They have, or will have, their share of the conference network. It may not be as big as the SEC Network (or, in the case of the B1G it might even be bigger), but they will each be making as much or more than UT. And, they kept their conferences together.
You mentioned earlier that SEC fans wouldn't watch Vandy v. Kentucky. To the contrary, SEC fans are more likely to watch games involving other teams in their conference. It's the old "Team SEC" thing we catch shit about. But, as a UT fan that only cares for UT and not for anything else in the conference, I understand why this doesn't make sense to you.
Finally, you mention Vandy v. Ky as if that is the only level of game that will be shown. How about:
Arkansas @ Auburn
UCF @ Missouri
Kentucky @ Florida
and that's just through the first 3 weeks. There will be a dozen solid games that I and others will look forward to catching.
Well, you said Big 12 schools would be upset if they didn't make as much as the SEC. If the SEC is braking the bank like some predict, all the conferences should be upset, or is the big 12 the only conference upset in your scenerio? I already said i'll watch the big 12 games on fox, espn and abc just like i'll watch other games. As for your slate of games on the SEC network, again you missed the point. You have to share your network with 13 other teams, have fun finding the hour and a half dedicated to UGA daily.
