It was always a dumb long term model depend on people who DON'T consume
your product as a de-facto subsidy of your financial plan. I'm talking about shaking down cable and satellite subscribers who don't watch football to pay you for the conference networks like the ACCN, BTN and SECN.
The whole college football financial system is noncompetitive if not anti-competitive.
Speaking of the Big Ten, I wonder if they regret adding Rutgers yet 🤔
