[QUOTE="Technut1990, post: 817635, member: 3774"] yes there is a finite amount of money that would be paid as things are. How have you identified the upper limit though ? Other businesses excel in one or two products they lack the ability to merge without consuming one another. In the end if Coke and Pepsi merged the final product would be Coke or Pepsi, they couldn’t capture or hold the other consumer. In football the product gets better With a “merger”. The SEC can capture and hold The Penn State fans, Ohio State fans and the Michigan fans because those teams don’t actually merge away, their value remains alive and it would come to the SEC ( as it would any other conference ). I mean do you think The ACC would get Approx the same TV contract if those teams joined them ? Their is only a combining of the people who are following Not the actual product. Right now if The SEC had a following of 30 million those 30 don’t go away if others join. Each team brings its own fans. If fans = followers and followers = viewers the then viewership value to ESPN or whoever televised the conference would increase, so would advertisement value. Advertisers alone would pay more because they are reaching the additional fans over and above the 30 million. Any network that can get its hands on a Alabama vs Ohio State game or Michigan vs Georgia, locked in for 5 years in a regular schedule would pay big because they would be adding more value to the TV package. I agree growth plateaus but we ain’t at the plateau point in college football. The plateau point for a conference would be when that conference has all of the top drawing teams, as long as a conference can improve so can it’s finances. Do you not think adding those 3 teams would increase the size, quality and value of the SEC substantially ? why do businesses add “extra large” to their offerings ? It’s because people pay more when they think they are getting more. [/QUOTE]
