Larry Scott's Gentle Crowbar Strategy

another nice little piece by John Canzano (who has a hot Asian wife, by the way).
"Instead of sitting around for four years, SEC commissioner Greg Sankey, along with his negotiating partners at Creative Artists Agency, simply stepped over the current CBS contract and cut a 10-year deal. It may cause four awkward lame-duck years with CBS, but more significantly, it gives SEC members a windfall of financial security.
Also, it blows a hole in the Pac-12′s tired negotiating stance.
Scott has spent the last three years telling anyone who would listen that the Pac-12 has to wait for its current media rights deals to expire before it can negotiate freely. He’s been gently holding a crowbar, promising us that he knows how to use it to open the safe. But the SEC just walked up with a dolly and wheeled the thing off."

Watch Larry blow it
ESPN will suck SEC dick regardless
CBS made them unique
Would love to see the top Pac 12 game on Saturday at 1230 on CBS
CBS was the Sun Bowl and Cotton Bowl and Lindsay Nelson.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if the Pac-12 media rights stay the same or even go down when the next contract comes up, although I realize Larry Scott's plan is to catch a Amazon/Google/Facebook/Alibaba/Apple unicorn/white swan offer that leads to some type of Private Equity event.
Each Pac-12 team received 32 million total this year.
As it currently sits, the GAP Between what a SEC school will get is MORE than what each Pac-12 will take in when the deal goes into place.
Is he attempting to separate the HCH men from the boys?
