AAC Looking Outside the Box for TV Deal

[Eskapeesto]

Interested to hear thoughts on this (other than hoping we won't be around to care).

American Athletic Conference looking outside the box for next TV deal?

Aresco appears plenty willing to break that mold, and may be eyeing up a revolutionary idea of shopping his conference product to a non-traditional platform like Netflix, Amazon, or other providers of digital content that can deliver the content in multiple ways.

AAC might turn to new media

Aresco said that the league is in talks with Amazon to broadcast some of its women's basketball and non-revenue sports as soon as this year. Amazon has more than 50 million subscribers to its Prime Video service. While nothing is finalized, that offers a small window into a new world.

Very interesting and ties back to the issues both the NFL (greedy B---d) and ESPN are facing from the ESPN thread.

Educated bean counters will always find new ways to generate revenue.
