The Southeastern Conference has signed a 15-year deal with ESPN reportedly worth more than $2 billion to televise football and men's and women's basketball on their various stations.

The agreement announced Monday is the longest ESPN has ever signed.

"This agreement makes the SEC the most widely distributed conference in the country," said SEC Commissioner Mike Slive.

"The bottom line here is that fans of SEC football will have more access to games and better distribution than they ever have in the past," Slive added.
