SEC Growing Media-Savvy?
Posted by secsportsline on August 28, 2009
The SEC has significantly revised its media policy. As I blogged a few posts ago, the SEC’s deal with ESPN has been paying off already – maybe this is another sign that the SEC is becoming more media savvy. Some of the key changes:
- Newspapers and TV stations can produce posteason specials without paying licensing fees.
- Unlimited blogging and social networking during live game coverage.
This is not groundbreaking on its own, but I’m glad to see the conference under the leadership of Mike Slive continue to cultivate positive relationships with the media. As long as the media has the power to manipulate the national title game, it is important that the SEC continue to develop its relationship with the powers that be in order to avoid another undefeated SEC team getting the shaft when it comes to the BCS.
