Somebody is geographically challenged!

Well, that would mainly be up to ESPN. It remains to be seen if NBC is willing to put up that much cash. I did read on an ND fan site this morning that they feel NBC has disrespected them by assigning less than top tier broadcast talent to their games. I wonder tho' - all these schools...

F$U's AD was quoted as saying, if ND would join the ACC in football, they'd change their vote. ND is asking NBC for $75M/yr - up from $22M. The ball may be in ESPN's court...

ND could make it happen tomorrow. I still think a lot of eyes are watching the negotiations with NBC....

I don't think that I alleged that anything was false... Well, right now we're in the legal "dueling banjos" phase where each party's attorneys alternate issuing statements. Hard to know exactly what transpired. I guess that's what a judge is for. The Touhy's attorneys claimed today that all...

This is ESPN's(and the conferences) nightmare scenario. Inability to monetize the product would collapse the value of broadcast rights. It's gonna' be a tough needle to thread...

Here we go. This may be the future, but will be a tough climb...

Great post. I think the biggest challenge in the transition to a streaming model is pricing & packaging(the same thing actually). In the cable model, there are a huge number of customers that don't care about sports subsidizing ESPN. If Aunt Joannie wants to watch Hallmark Channel, but the...

Slow down there Nuke! Does your NCSU friend have any evidence that the NCBoR was involved. I haven't seen that reported anywhere.

Well, I decided to go down the rabbit hole this morning and do a little web searching on Michael Oher's net worth. The estimate that I found was approx. $13M after earning approx. $34M during his NFL career. I thought possibly he has a liquidity problem and needs cashflow. Then I discovered...

They should be calling ND....

I'm beginning to believe that we're all overthinking this. I'm sure that there's some big brother/little brother going on and possibly a little left coast distrust thrown in. Stir in some intrigue and possible ulterior motives and the forums go wild. But maybe Occam's Razor is that this just...

I think possibly the most interesting upcoming scenario is ESPN vs NBC. If NBC really is balking at ND's ask, that will give ESPN an opening to put a feather in their cap and solidify the ACC for the foreseeable future. Not sure is ESPN has the cash tho'....

Well, to their credit(Lord help me for appearing to defend F$U), they did tell ND to "put up or shut up" over the Stanford/Cal scenario. May have been more cheap talk tho' as nobody thought ND would go for it....

Both the F$U prez and AD are new to their jobs. I think the entire recent dust-up is just the two of them trying to mollify a restive fan base. They can't take any real action, so the best alternative is to make noise....
