I loved Joe's Heisman speech. What a fine young man. Happy for him and LSU. Both have had a Hell of a season.

Looking forward to the bowls. My wife and I have some time off coming. Both of us looking forward to all the games and the Holidays.

I hope all you guys have a great Holiday season. Good luck to all of your teams!

I saw where CBS is giving up on the SEC Football after 2023. CBS Sports to End its Association with SEC College Football

They were out bid by ESPN ... just what we need, MORE reason for espn to push the Sec ...

It wouldn't surprise me to see CBS drop out for this round and get back in next time around, depending on how long the contracts are for.
Maybe they pick up another conference in the mean time.

From what I saw, they were out bid by a considerable amount ...

Disney owns ABC and 80% of ESPN. IMO ESPN does an awful job broadcasting especially MNF has become unwatchable with Booger McFarland. As much as I can't stand Troy Aikman, Booger is even worse when it comes to color commentary. I feel like I've been beaten with a stick after a game with Booger.

Good, maybe they will also make SEC football unwatchable ....
I know Disney owns all of that .... so that also means well probably be seeing the Sec on ABC as well ... I hadn't thought about that till now.

I don't know how long the Notre Dame contract goes for, maybe CBS will buy ND coverage instead.

NBC signed a new deal with ND. CBS won't give up the SEC game of the week.

The current CBS SEC deal runs through 2023 and ESPN/ABC are making a bid for it.

Report: SEC TV deal will increase school payouts by $20 million

SEC schools are on the verge of securing a huge annual raise.

CBS game of the week is part of the package and that's what the story is about. CBS is giving up the SEC broadcasting.

Yup, they put a bid in but ESPN is going to way outbid them.

CBS does a great job broadcasting I hate to see it go to ESPN where everything goes downhill.

 

[Don in CT]

I bet CBS would go the game of the week model. Grab a Saturday night game.

Not sure how that would work if the other major conferences are tied to other networks ...

Btw, CBS was outbid by about 250 Million
It was something like 50m vs 300 M

I can't see them just folding up shop on college football.

It sounded like its a done deal.

 

[Don in CT]

It sounded like its a done deal.

And ESPN might buy out the remaining 4 years.

CBS will need some kind of Saturday sports programming. PGA will be done and they don't have bowling anymore.

 

[satjay]

I agree with thee CBS SEC coverage, they do a nice job, sucks for everything pretty much to go
To ESPN.

Thats fine, this report said they are ending its affiliation with the Sec, nothing about Other sports.

Im saying besides college football what else is there that has a mass appeal in the fall months.
