SEC footprint covers about 1/3 of US population. If the Alliance ...


can effectively block the SEC from playing high profile games in the other 2/3, then the SEC cares.

Also, if the Alliance conference resolves to move all coverage to a non-ABC network, then ESPN loses its clout. Alliance conferences can demand more favorable ESPN coverage at the expense of the SEC games.

ABC is a national network that needs to appeal to advertisers in New York, California, Illinois and Pennsylvania, among others. If this becomes a war of the Alliance vs. ESPN + SEC, the Alliance wins.
