15 years, about $150 million a year. The deal eliminates discussion about an SEC network and ends Raycom Sports' relationship with the SEC since 1986.
Combined with a 15-year, $55 million a year agreement with CBS, the SEC will bring in an average of $250 million annually in media rights from 2009-10 through 2025, according to the SportsBusiness Journal. That nearly triples the SEC's current amount of $70 million per year.
ESPN finally stepping up to the big leagues. Thank god we don't have to watch the Big 10 on ESPN after this year.
