[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 812276, member: 282"] The timing is a little coincidental, but this is happening at the same time that the NCAA is backing off their traditional role as enforcement officers and looking to find more ways to make money off of student athletes. We’ve got an NCAA shift, a NIL shift, and now a realignment shift among other things happening at the same time as an economic shift that’s hitting ESPN and Comcast and the traditional broadcasters. I don’t have Comcast any more, but I was annoyed they didn’t pick up ACCN. However, the ACC Network launched around the same time that subscriber numbers started declining. Most businesses have plans around increasing markets, not just steady state markets. Comcast made a bunch of moves that haven’t panned out; NBC hasn’t been growing, their sports networks are doing OK, and they haven’t been able to grow into the “Successful Content Provider” that was on their business plans. So, you could think that Comcast not picking up the ACC Network (owned by Disney, a competitor) might be more a matter of money and trying to play business chess using checkers and left over bottle caps. The SEC sees a trend for LESS money from tickets but MORE money from media rights. However, the sources of those media rights are slashing costs and skewing to an older audience. These trends are butting heads. On the other hand, there’s a 30-year trend (at least), where the NCAA rich get richer, and football is king. They’re out to corner the market on big money NCAA teams and watch the rest struggle to survive. Hemingway: “How did you go bankrupt?” “Gradually, then suddenly”. It’s easy to see the same trend in NCAA sports. [/QUOTE]
