Message: [QUOTE="kibblesnbits, post: 2684034, member: 97"] Your analysis is completely wrong. If the Big 10 owns 49% of the network they get 49% of the profits, not the revenue. That could be more or less than received under a royalty model depending on the profit margin versus royalty rates. It's impossible to say from the facts presented and could, in fact, vary from year to year depending on how attractive the game is and the costs involved (until you recover fully burdened fixed costs there is no profit and once you recover them it's virtually all profit, the variable cost per subscriber being fairly low, so you are betting on the over in the ownership model).
