So, I'm supposing that media market means less and number of engaged alumni mean more.

Bally Sports (Diamond Corp) is attempting to sign a deal with Amazon to show all their properties (mostly MLB and NHL) on Prime.  If that happens and Prime subs increase, I can see Amazon getting into

Correct. At some point (and we may already be getting close), the number of people using streaming apps will be higher than the number of people on cable. At that point it's going to be a matter of people actually paying for your streaming platform rather than being roped in by carriage fees on channels they don't watch.

Hulu was originally a collab between FOX, NBC, and ABC to compete against Netflix.  It's not out of the question.

Disney bought out Comcast Universal last fall... so now it's 100% owned by Disney, and since Fox licenses Fox shows to Hulu -- and Fox owns Tubi, but they have not put a lot of sports programming on it.

all the networks move to streaming is going to hurt every conference's payouts (heck even major league sports) in regards to carriage fees. that includes the big 12 , sec, and big 10.

80% of espn's revenues are carriage fees.

There are estimates that subscriber base for cable will be less than 50 million households by the end of the decade... at some point A LOT of cable networks are going to fold into their parent corporations' streaming services and the volume of programming will decrease.

Iam rooting for Prime to keep adding more sports over Disney. Prime  doesn't create panderverses. They make good content and leave it at that.

I am sure they will lobby congress to make  streamer subscriptions pay broadcast views and congress will vote yes so they get kick backs and campaign donations they can use to buy anything .

Well, "streaming" services like Sling, Hulu Live, YouTubeTV already pay "carriage fees".  In this way, are cable companies.

The other services are "a la carte" ... not sure what Congress could do to make Netflix pay ESPN if there is no ESPN content (live or otherwise) on Netflix.

Biggest takeaway from me here - "Watch on Apple TV" button. Sure seems to open the door for exclusive Apple TV sports content similar to ESPN and ESPN+.

How about teaming up with Microsoft Xbox. The AAC could save that company.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    Terry Lucas, 09/26/22
