Their big boost in revenue wasn't from ESPN it was from their own channels
The SECN and BTN are cash cows that will likely keep increasing in value. The key for them to increase revenues is to get more states in the fold so that they can collect Tier 1 rate fees from cable. I also suspect they will do their own streaming aligned with ESPN/
Fox. How do they do this? The likely targets are the B12 and the P12. Both of them are underpaid (except TX) and they have large populations states (CA/TX) that could add millions to their revenue. But in order to cash in, they have to have the top teams in each state.

The BIG is the first up with rights renegotiation. I can easily see Delany make a play for the cream of the crop out West. And the SEC will follow. Dreaming we could then see the ACC create a Western Division of left overs and thus we have a P3 not a P4 or P5...but who knows.
