If you're saying that all conferences will lose revenues then I would agree, but you are specifically targeting the B1G which doesn't make sense. They are positioned better than any other conference because of their ownership in the network that nobody else has.

Let's say that sometime in the future whether it's 5, 10 or 20 years from now the cost to watch Ohio St/Michigan or Alabama/Auburn is $10. It may be on cable, satellite, online or some new technology that hasn't been invented yet.

ESPN owns the rights to Bama/Auburn. Again, I'm not saying it will be on cable but they own the rights to broadcast the game on whatever platform it is at that time. How much of that $10 are they going to share with the SEC? It's not going to be anywhere near $4.90. It will be significantly less.

Under the same model the B1G owns the rights (along with FOX) to their game. The B1G gets $4.90 if that $10.

Again, I believe all broadcast revenues will decrease across the board but to say the B1G will specifically be affected more than others  isn't accurate
