It talks about how the SEC only counts tickets sold and not butts in seats.  Also mentions how almost every SEC game is televised in the region and they battle against HD TV.

keep in mind----  the SEC conf is the most Geographically sound conference in the country.  The longest road trip for ANY fan to EVER have to take on an in-conf game would be 13 hour drive from Fayetteville to Gainsville.  But how often do the Gators and Razorbacks play?  every 3 years?

Alot of their games are within 4-5 hour driving range.

That is pretty interesting ... Even the economy/technology is affecting God's gift to college football.
