SEC, with ESPN's help, will launch SEC Network next year

but how much longer will the current cable model last? probably for at least the next decade, most cord cutters don't really care about sports

Since this is a sports network, I'm sure it will continue to do fine by this logic.
 
ESPN has been progressive in making their programming available on mobile devices. I expect the SEC Network will be available right along side with ESPN-3 and the other networks in the ESPN family.

As far as I know, Fox's RSNs are not available via the interwebs.

They are not, at least not yet. But, with ESPN on the internet, you have to not only subscribe to Cable, but also to Internet AND you have to hope that your provider pays for access to the online content (which I'm sure they pass on to you).

ESPN3 is pretty widely available, though good luck using it in a public Wi-Fi setting. Anything on ESPN, ESPN2, or ESPNU you have to authenticate for, and the list of providers is pretty short. Watching the Longhorn Network online also requires authentication (and isn't available through WatchESPN), so if you're outside the LHN coverage area, you're kind of out of luck.

Fox does plan on introducing Fox Sports 2Go that will include some FSN programming.

Is the ACC next since all the schools just agreed to give the conference media rights until something like 2026?

SEC>ACC

Can't compare apples to oranges. Just because the SEC has it doesn't mean the ACC deserves it.

It will be a financial success from Day 1.

Surprised it took this long.

Big win for ESPN.

What is "Big 12"?

It's a conference with 10 schools in it. Meanwhile, there's a conference called the Big 10 that has 12 schools in it.

Looks like Johnny can't count, either. ;)

That wasn't the question. The answer is, most likely yes.

The SEC should just absorb the ACC. Problems for both conferences solved. The biggest obstacle would be the politics involved with allowing Georgia Tech to rejoin the SEC after being thrown out of the conference for bad sportsmanship.

I believe GT left the SEC on it's own accord because it didn't want to lower their academic standards to those of Ole Miss and the like. I could be wrong, but then again I wasn't around in 1964.
 
I just looked it up on Wikipedia and they say Tech withdrew from the SEC. Strange, growing up surrounded by SEC alums I've been told the 1960's Alabama-Georgia Tech story at least once every football season... backwards. Bama, Georgia, Auburn, and Florida alums all tell the same story, that Tech was playing dirty and crippled the Bama player. Well... I guess I'll be reading a whole lot more about that game and unless a GA Tech alum wrote the Wikipedia entry backwards I'll be correcting someone this season.

The winner writes the history. Next I guess you'll be telling me the War Between the States was fought over slavery.
