from what i'm able to gather the SEC has the ability to do "look ins" with cbs and espn regarding television revenue, based on market value and other factors.
it looks as though slive, in light of the 300 million to texas and the large contract the pac 12 has signed, has realized our market value will be surpassed around 2015.....
the problem is we are signed until 2023, possibly giving cbs and espn a very good deal over the last eight years of the contract.... and the look ins dont seem to leave much wiggle room in terms of bargaining power...
the easiest way around this is to expand the conference which would make the existing contract void and of course put us back on the open market to renegotiate..
Slive probably realizes now that a ten year deal with some more outs for renegotiating is probably the better option.... the large contracts negotiated by texas and the pac 12 prove that he left alot of money on the table by not anticipating the appreciation of the value of SEC football
so expansion could be slive's easiest route to cover a financial blunder worth close to a billion

'We didn't sacrifice anything'
Recently, the SportsBusiness Jour*nal estimated the average annual value of the SEC's TV deals ($205 mil*lion) trails those of the Big Ten ($252 million) and the Pac-12 ($250 mil*lion).
