You just defeated your own argument.

Start with "it comes down to markets vs. actual viewership.". NY is nearly twice the market of NC.  It's simple math, 20MM v. 11MM.  Then you argue the SEC wants FSU, but the SEC has the FL market via U of Florida.

You then go into other reasoning that defeat your arguments.  In the net, your argument is SU sucks everyone else is better.  Now prove it with hard numbers and formulas so we can discuss your conclusions.

Please be sure to factor the losses to ESPN in detail and the gains for Fox in detail.  Then explain why ESPN is simply going to let its strongest competitor take away revenue and profits without a fight.

Too many people think the SEC and B1G are making decisions in a vacuum, they aren't. They have partners, ESPN and Fox, who are equals not minions.  Both partners have investors that cannot be abused in the investor's desire for profits.  If ESPN or Fox of their own decision harm the profit bottom line, the lawsuits will fly.

Anyway, believe what you like, please don't expect people to buy into specious arguments that ignore all other facts.  This does not mean facts won't change, some likely will.  However, it does mean that the facts will affect the change itself and ignoring them makes forecasts less likely to happen as predicted.
