I do wonder though if it is worth losing casual eyeballs? A few years ago I watched a decent amount of MLS games. I even attended a few games. My interest faded well before the Apple TV deal. But I would watch every now and then. Since the Apple TV deal I watch no games. Even the ones on TV. Not enough exposure for me to pay attention.

I am sure financially the Apple TV deal makes sense. Although I do think MLS is stuck with the production costs if I am not mistaken. But is it sustainable? Have they lost any significant viewership with the move? Will advertisers say you only have a small niche following and no casuals? Which leads to less money?

I do think that ESPN and FOX will work together in all of this. I don't buy the mortal enemies theory. Just having the B1G fans or SEC fans as subscribers cuts off a lot of people. But if you have partial of both, or one and several small conferences bundled together you get more subscribers overall. If SU gets left behind I have no interest in buying a subscription to watch B1G or SEC football. I have not and never plan to add Peacock to watch B1G FB.
