Largely agree, but one thing that the Pac12 will continue to run into is their constituents not caring as much as elsewhere and isolation.More... the contract for the Pac12 at the time was unprecedented. But lack of vision 'locked' them in for a longer period of time. When that contract comes up 'streaming' companies will be the primary focus. And, to be honest, ALL of them are on the west coast. So THAT looks good for them.
Actually, I believe the net revenue per team will become much better as both packaging and pay-per-view will come into play. A larger national playoff would also be required and/or requiring more P5 vs P5 matchups to net the national big name advertisers. There's allot to gain from reaching ALL of your constituents as opposed to regional reach. The current model of sport broadcasting is going to change significantly or, more likely, die. Just as I told JP nearly 15 years ago.
P5 going more to the NFL model as streaming becomes the delivery medium could mean big bucks, but some movement. Look at how much NBC paid to get the rights to Seinfeld. A couple conference’s bundled together could get enough to maintain imo
