Message: [QUOTE="upperdeck, post: 4737111, member: 474"] At some point the B10 ends up with like 40 teams, does that mean its still has a value to the networks 3-4-5x more than what they were paying the individual leagues? Even now the value to the networks is spread around lots of the country and the way its going 75% of that is gonna be who cares. Even here in NY if you phase out SU how much of the state is left watching CF? You need some local interest to peak caring about the other teams in the sport. SU might draw 40K to a game but fan interest is still pretty high up upstate when the team is decent.. That will dwindle pretty fast. How long can Neb markets live on the past of 10-20 yrs ago for example if they continue to go downhill. great that oregon/Wash/USC/OK/Tex all jump to a bigger league but they cant all be good. 3-4-5 of these teams have to slide backwards to make room.. Some will end up like VANDY [/QUOTE]
