Everyone knows that the P5 are the P5 because they are paid. What gives me some hope is that we have a large student base which may translate well to a digital subscription format.

Viewership for college football is up on ABC and FOX. College football is still a huge cash cow for networks. ESPNs problem I heard is that they overpaid for NFL content. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure they overpaid for a LOT of stuff. Just overpaying for NFL wouldn't cause the free fall that organization has been in the last few years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That $2.66 billion to the NBA annually from them almost single handidly created the cap influx we saw last summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes both are owned by The Mouse. That's why sporting events televised on ABC can be streamed on the WatchESPN app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
