Originally I posted this in another thread which had a link to the following article: https://247sports.com/college/oklah...ama-Michigan-SEC-Pac-12-Big-10-ACC--118642101
And here is a quote from that article:
"Most Power Five grant-of-rights agreements begin to expire in 2023, (the SEC's Tier 1 deal with CBS runs through 2023-24). The Big Ten’s agreement with Fox and ESPN runs through 2022-23; the Pac-12 deal expires after the 2023-24 sports year, and the Big 12's ends in 2025."
The article basically says that when this happens ... its every man for himself ... a the top 30-40 programs will win and will take it all and everyone else will be cast aside. And it even mocks conferences that try to stick together ... which I believe is wrong. Anyway ... that's a good article and why I posted this. There are some huge changes coming ... how it all works out ... nobody knows. What sounds crazy today ... might not 6 yrs from now. Just sayin.
There will be a change. But the shift will begin in other sports before hitting college football. The fact that you're continuing to see NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB and soccer on traditional media means we're probably here for more than just 4-6 more years. That doesn't meant there won't be a realignment, but it won't be driven by Amazon and other digital media.
