The only thing worse than watching the SEC tourney with Raycom coverage is watching the highlights on ESPN in REAL HD. That way we can see how bad the coverage actualy is.  |

| ESPN is covering it, but Raycom has a contract wich blacks it out in their area, thus the ESPN HD highlights, but the piss poor Raycom coverage. But I sure can see the Big 12 tourney in HD! Sweet! | |

| For what it's worth it's a little sad to see the end of an era of Raycom/Jefferson Pilot/Lincoln Financial coverage. I like Tom Hammond and some of the sideline reporters. In the end I think they did a pretty good job for regional quality, but I look forward to seeing ESPN take the reigns next year. | |

| Well, we don't have to watch Raycom anymore. At the end of the aubie/Vols game, they stated this was their last broadcast covering the SEC, football and basketball. I think ESPN and CBS will have the rights now. I believe Raycom will still cover the ACC for all you Ga Tech and FSU fans. | |

They will get replaced on all of the ESPN channels.
I think the early football game will either replace the Big Ten ESPN game or will be on ESPN2.
There Will also be more broadcasts in ESPN Classic and probably some on ESPNU, which will suck if Comcast doesn't get the channel next year.
