And they don't do breakfast with the Gators no more do they?
I haven't heard Mick Hubert mention the show as he routinely used to do when wrapping up his football-postgame radio broadcasts.

Back at the time of the last SEC big-bag-o'-money contract with t.v. networks, football-replay programs like Breakfast with the Gators were described as tertiary rights, which all SEC schools agreed to give up to the t.v. networks. Apparently it was not just a grant of privileges of first refusal, so even if the SEC-contracted t.v. networks decide not to broadcast an established show like Breakfast with the Gators, the schools agreed not to make separate deals by themselves to get such shows on the air or over cable.

So if that boiled down to SEC-Network or not-at-all, there could've been as many as 14 SEC teams competing for something like 6 hours of marketable time-slots for football-replay shows on SEC-N.: Perhaps 8a.m. to 1:59p.m., if scheduled to finish before the start-time of live broadcasts (e.g., "first serve") of less-popular college sports in the SEC, or 12:59p.m. if kowtowing to NFL schedules on related networks. Or even fewer hours if the replay shows were also scheduled to avoid the Bible-Belt Sunday-morning hours customarily reserved for attending church (regardless of the weekly habits of the local majority).

Apologies for having nothing more than speculation to offer, but maybe we'll get a definitive answer to a question that would otherwise have remained hidden among a very few replies that were off-topic in the "Vandy Gameday Thread".

I think you can get replays of games that are aired by SEC TV or ESPN. But I do not think the ones aired by CBS, NBC or ABC do not get reaired.
 
You can usually find the replay on youtube within a day or two of it being played. I even found a replay of the Cigar Bowl there.
 
First of all...Breakfast with the Gators hasn't aired in like over 3 years...where have ya'll been, prison?

Secondly...anybody who wants to voluntarily watch replays of our games is a sicko sadomasochist who should be institutionalised immediately.
