[QUOTE="ThatGuy, post: 995639, member: 3440"] Yes. So much this. If anyone has the time (and wants to geek out on a business case study), [URL='https://www.acquired.fm/episodes/the-nfl']the Acquired Podcast on the NFL[/URL] is a great listen - and a fascinating example of this approach. In some ways, the NFL succeeded largely because they regularly failed into success - but also because they convinced all of their teams to subjugate their own individual revenue to the league, with a strategy of "by growing the whole pie a lot larger, we'll each have a much bigger slice of the pie than our own individual pies would ever amount to." They convinced teams like the NY Giants to give their media rights over to the NFL as a whole, and let the NFL do the negotiating. Even though teams like Green Bay were from much smaller areas, teams from larger areas understood that it was important to have a) parity and b) to have as large a national footprint as they could. It benefitted all of them. If you look back at the past at least 20 years or so, you can see that that's been the SEC's approach. It's one of the reasons they're regarded the way they are - they put the conference first, and understand the benefits they all get from it. Even if they dislike their rivals, they understand that each of them plays a key part, and if they start questioning the validity of the conference, they shoot themselves in the foot. It's an approach that makes a lot of sense, when you look at it. Unfortunately, FSU didn't get that memo. Clemson did, UNC to a lesser degree...but FSU decided to burn the house down, then go to sleep in the bedroom. We'll see if it works out for them. [/QUOTE]
