Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 4727452, member: 833"] When you see dollars like this, you have to ask why no one has sued the P4/ESPN/Fox for collusion in restraint of trade. The only reason these schools are getting this much money is because they are colluding with each other and against every other school. This is a simple, textbook anti-trust case in a segment of the market where the powers that be lose almost every time they are taken to court, and just got their butt kicked in the NIL case. What are schools like Oregon State and Washington State waiting for? At some point, not suing becomes a breach of fiduciary duty by those schools' leadership. I am sure they have threatened lawsuits, because the G5 will get paid really well out of the CFP, and the majors wouldn't do that out of the goodness of their hearts. Maybe the shakedown is worth more than the lawsuit, and that is why no one has sued. But the dollars are starting to get really big, and I think they will shrink in streaming, meaning a lawsuit is worth more today than it will be worth in the future. [/QUOTE]
