Message: [QUOTE="SU2NASA, post: 1744496, member: 800"] Fox bidding for the B1G reeks of the overpaying they did years ago to steal the NFC content from CBS. ESPN is hemorrhaging subscribers and they're in dire need to tightening their purse strings. The B1G is a bubble that's going to burst. BTN is built upon forcing subscribers to pay for it as part of their basic sports package. Once you take away those subscribers when they cut the cord, the BTN's business case starts falling apart. The dynamics of the B1G's media deals are going to be in a vastly different position 6 years from now. And as a fan of a B1G team, I'm not sure I'd pay for BTN if we ever cut the cord. [/QUOTE]
