Not exactly sure what "buy a media market" means but some quick research shows that I was wrong about the UF radio stations buying their broadcast rights. That's how the majority of SEC teams do it, according to one site, but not UF. They work on a barter system with, I'm assuming, Clear Channel. I go and give you credit and your wrong jeez last time i do that  An honest mistake though ... A lot of SEC schools do pay get paid for broadcast rights, apparently, just not the stinking Gators.
