Has verizon or SEC confirmed this? On the SEC Network page it still shows verizon isn't carrying it.

Yeah, I'm not so sure.  It's only been mentioned in the same 3 articles online all day, none of which is a major news outlet.

Carry it in the Washington DC market and you'll have another customer for years to come! Leave us out and I'll be forced to consider Comcast when my contract is up next month. *gasp!*

Would much rather stay with Verizon for SEC football! Git 'er done!

Any update on the package that non-SEC markets will need to have to get this channel?

I called this mornign and spoke to rep to get some answers. She said they have come to an agreement, but they have no other info on when it will launch on Fios. Living in Pennsylvania, my concern was it would not be available to me since I am nto in the SEC footprint. She said it will be available on the Ultimate package, which I carry, so that is good. I have nothing to back this up, but if they agreed yesterday, then it should be launched by Thursday when my Gamecocks whip those Aggies in Columbia and extend the nations longest home winning streak. Either way, you can still access it via the WatchESPN app with your Verizon login.

Well i just called and the agent I spoke with says they are still no agreement.   Regardless of whether they do or don't.  I'm done with this.

The article mentioned it could be announced by the end if the week, so I would think we would see an official announcement by the end of today.

The reps aren't going to say anything until it has been made official. That's why they are still saying the same thing.

The reporter from Sports Business Journal is very good. If he reported it then it will happen.

Believe me I questioned him about the article and he made it clear to me it was incorrect, so did his supervisor.  At this point regardless of true or not, its not worth the worrying.
