But if the shift in technology enters the picture, doesn't that also...

call into question the long term eye-wateringly-large profits of the B10 and SEC? Not that they won't make money, but they won't make NEARLY as much -- just from the mere fact of cord-cutters only paying for what they want, and not being forced to buy a cable bundle.

I don't think cord-cutting will ruin everything, but I do think it will bring this giant TV money bubble back down to something more reasonable.

I wonder if epic realignment is holding off until we know for sure how television itself is going to look ten years from now?

Agree Will. ESPN is declining and doubt SEC TV is making the big bucks -- BAMAHOKIE 06/06/2016 10:32AM

Are we talking sports or academics? -- 133193Hokie 06/05/2016 5:14PM

If the SEC wanted FSU and Clemson, they'd have them already. However... -- Maroon Baboon 06/05/2016 3:38PM

The SEC homers are as bad as the B1G ones. -- HOO86 06/05/2016 12:07PM

SEC homers are worse. I don't like the BIG but they're nothing -- corvt2000 06/06/2016 09:56AM

Yeah, it's not even close. ** -- reestuart 06/06/2016 10:07AM

That crappy league won 10 MNCs and shared another... -- Calamitous 06/05/2016 1:39PM

Any league with only 21 sports and poor academics is crappy sorry -- HOO86 06/05/2016 2:18PM

So by your assertion... -- Calamitous 06/05/2016 2:41PM

Their ranks are published. -- HOO86 06/05/2016 3:12PM

Duke, Wake and BC have had their moments. -- Calamitous 06/05/2016 3:25PM

We differ. -- HOO86 06/05/2016 6:14PM

No biggie... we differ on this, but not on everything... -- Calamitous 06/05/2016 9:49PM

Exactly. Cord Cutting very bad for B10 & SEC. Not now, but certainly later. ** -- jesuisvtguy 06/05/2016 1:23PM

They will adapt. But advantage gone. ** -- HOO86 06/05/2016 2:20PM

Yes. No one has BTN or SECN without ESPN2 -- HOO86 06/05/2016 12:18PM
