While Pilson said it's hard to argue that A&M's addition would dilute the conference, he says the Aggies have "minimal impact." "There are smart people at both ESPN and CBS and I would anticipate that they foresaw this type of contingency," Pilson said. "Based on their record over a period of time, it doesn't appear like Texas A&M is going to be in the top tier of teams in the SEC. So if there's any adjustment to the TV deals, I would anticipate that it would be a very modest adjustment, if anything."
If A&M was added as an equal partner, the TV deals would have to be bumped up by 8.3 percent in order for the SEC members to make the same money they make now off the TV deals. It's not a guarantee that will happen.
lol "minimal impact."
lol sec teams losing money on the deal
Yeah, the SEC is going to lose money by adding A&M, but they're going to do it anyways just because they like us that much.
If the TV money doesn’t go up or goes up less than 8% the other teams will loses revenueYeah, the SEC is going to lose money by adding A&M, but they're going to do it anyways just because they like us that much.
lol aggies
Obviously the SEC thinks they'll get that 8% or make it up on the next contract. If they didn't, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
So let me get this straight... Negotiations between the SEC and Texas A&M aren't even finalized yet, but they know the dollar amount that this will add in the TV deal?
I'm sure the SEC is looking to add A&M because they're being nice, like coyote said.

No way this deal adds TV money.
and you are sure the SEC is ready to add A&M?So let me get this straight... Negotiations between the SEC and Texas A&M aren't even finalized yet, but they know the dollar amount that this will add in the TV deal?

you are sure of this how?
You're an idiot.
CBS would have to pay for any increase. The former president of CBS says A&M's addition won't increase revenue that much, and his buddies have this under control.
Shocking.
'A&M would never leave the Big 12, it's just fan rumors... A&M's just bluffing... ok, A&M's not bluffing, but no way the legislature allows this... ok, the legislature is out of session and Branch backed down, but no way the SEC takes them ahahaha... ok it's just a legal maneuver, but we'll just add Notre Dame... ok Notre Dame says get lost, maybe we'll try Arkansas... Pitt... WVU... ok, well A&M won't increase the CBS contract that much according to the former CBS president...'
aggies don't have a foot hold in Dallas that is all OU/ut and little tcu
I forgot. Zero Aggies from the Dallas/FW area.
Also, the SEC is looking to add a team so they can make less money.
You people can't really believe this , right?
So how much money is the SEC going to get from CBS and ESPN to give to A&M?
No one knows for certain.
I'm sure A&M and the SEC have prepared some numbers since they need to prove what A&M adds.
If they haven't done so, the cart has been placed firmly before the horse.
Does anyone in those cities watch Aggy? My guess is no.
Take a guess at who ESPN (one of the only voices that actually matters when it comes to $$$) thinks delivers the DFW & Houston TV Markets.
It's not Aggy? , I remember two years ago when they couldn't get on tv.
I'm sure they have, but nothing has been made public from them as far as numbers go. Nothing will be official for quite some in regards to specific dollar amounts.
How much longer are we going to have to wait for A&M to just come out and fly the White Flag of Surrender over College Station?
I love how we're "surrendering" when we've won the last two, and will make it three straight this year. I also love how we're "surrendering" by going to the toughest football conference in the nation.
Fun fact: last 35 years, A&M has the scoreboard.
You were the one reporting the poll showing how few people were going to be watching the LHN.
A&Ms apparent reason for leaving is because of the LHN.
If the LHN is such a failure, explain again why A&M still wants to leave.
Almost as fun a fact as A&M winning their one national championship over 70 years ago.
