Tuberville wants home and home to play Crimson tide

Bama doesnt play above the Mason-Dixon line

The SEC does not have a single game that is going to be distributed regionally beyond the 8 games that are already sublet to FSN.

The whole thing is already sold.

ESPN owns everything beyond the CBS games. If they didn't put a game on the SEC network and it was distributed regionally that would be ESPN selling the rights not the schools. Guess what they are never going to do.

In the Big East there were Tier 3 games that the schools retained the rights to. No school in the Pac 12, Big 10, ACC or SEC has that situation today.

The Big 12 might still have a handful of games they can sell. But they are bottom of the barrel games and would never be games against P5 schools.

Nebraska paid USM to move a game. Hardly something you can compare. When UConn schedules a home game with Alabama they can call and offer to move it for $2 million.

Tier 3 is a reference to conference media contracts, not school contracts. They are conference games whose rights the conference cedes back to the school. There are no Tier 3 out of conference games only because they are all already Tier 3 -- the school owns the games.

Now, maybe Alabama has pre-sold its out of conference games, even ones that haven't yet been scheduled. But you present no evidence for it. Instead you keep telling me about the SEC in-conference games that have been sold to ESPN and CBS. A UConn game would not be one of those games.

The entire SEC has sold all their rights beyond the CBS contact to ESPN. This is why the SEC network exists. That you need more evidence than every single SEC game will be on CBS, the SEC net and ESPN except for the 8 games sublet to FSN from an old contact that expires this year seems impossible - but you can't accept reality.

It is all right here in black and white:

It will all make a lot more sense for you once you realize this core assumption is 100% false.

Do you think that UConn sold the Michigan game last year as a one off to ABC/ESPN?

Now read the Big 12 and follow closely. They get to keep one game each:

These super valuable assets end up places like:

WVU's game on Root Pittsburgh.
Iowa State and Kansas St have webcasts.
Oklahoma put their game on Fox PPV.

The Big 12 is the only P5 conference where the schools retain any rights. The AAC schools have none either.

Yes.

Yes.

So now I assume you are just trolling me so job well done.
