The PACN was sold a package of goods, and their distribution

was in the linier section - not streaming. They had/have the production facilities in place, and if you look at the G5, and what the networks are paying for their "rights", the G5 may look at this, and go steaming for the exposure, and stop giving up their content for a few million a year. The G5, and lets face it, the B12 and ACC have been squeezed out of most of the prime spots on Saturday. For the G5, it's approaching the point that they have nothing to lose. The B12 - and the future ACC will be pushed to Thursday and Friday night games - not good for the fans, but better for the tv money? The MAC and C-USA are already in Tuesday and Wednesday slots to get on ESPN. Those schools get less than a million each to do that. better than nothing? Or maybe with steaming, they can go it alone. When you have nothing, you have nothing to lose.

Does streaming lag mess up prop betting?

They will figure out what they can do and do it, it will evolve

Yep been saying it & John said it too. We are going to 16 team 🏈 playoff.

Should be 14. A 16 team tourney makes the SEC and B1G CGs a day of rest.

I don’t understand your day of rest comment, could you explain more?**

They would be unnecessary games of two teams already in the field.

And don’t forget, ESPN is also a middleman. They don’t create or own

If anyone tries to cut out the TV networks it would have to be the NFL
