Will’s got a plan. Will coached under the devil himself for seven years. I only did three. He did seven. And his DNA is not any different than Nick
The results of post-expansion negotiations on one front are in, and the league is netting no extra money from CBS. The only new thing form the extended deal is what we learned on May 2, that CBS's exclusivity window for the 3:30 pm ET time slot is no more. It makes sense when you think about it. CBS carries one game a week for all but the first two weeks, plus one doubleheader per year. Expanding the league doesn't matter much to a broadcaster that is only carrying one game per week. Plus with CBS paying around $4 million per game, it's hard to justify upping the rights fee based on merely putting more teams in the league when they don't have higher profiles than the existing premium teams.

ESPN/SEC statement: In light of the Boston tragedy today, tomorrow's SEC Network announcement event in Atlanta has been postponed.

We are definitely shocked and saddened by the bombings in Boston, and our thoughts and prayers are with those affected. There is a bit of news to report, though, which is that the conference has postponed its SEC Network news conference in light of the tragedy. It's the right call.
The long-awaited SEC Network announcement is coming next Tuesday according to the Sports Business Journal. The SBJ broke the news of the network originally and has been on the money ever since, so I think this report is a safe one.
Just sayin. It'd be something to write about. I think I remember seeing SEC baseball talk here before.
