ESPN and the SEC just announced a 21 year extension of their media-rights agreement. Slive is on the podium as we speak and has announced the formation of an SEC Network.

45 football games, 75 baseball; over 1,000 live sporting events (450 televised, 550 digital).
No money announced yet, but holy shit this network sounds amazing.

100 basketball games.
3 football games/wk. How !@#$ing awesome is that? I'll just send DirecTV a blank check; they can just put a number on it.

ESPN deal with SEC to 2034 isn’t only the longest deal in sports. It’s the longest deal in all of TV.

No more PPV football games for SEC squads....sweet.
I would like to thank the rest of you DirecTV subscribers for subsidizing those games for me. That'll be nice.

They aren't going to announce ownership structure or financial details today.
I have no idea what that means.

What does DirecTV have to do with it? Won't it be available everywhere? I don't want to switch cable providers, but I will if I have to. I'm not missing out on this.

It's going to cost DirecTV a shitload, but I'd imagine they'll put it in their tier 2 sports package and it'll get included for a slight increase in your monthly bill. That'll make them a hell of a lot more money than charging everyone that actually wants it $5/mo.

For the kind of money they are talking about, surely they are not going to go with just DirectTV? I would think ESPN would want it on every system that has ESPN>
