ESPN faces $793mm ad revenue loss from no college football season

The Whalers left because of Gary Bettmen and his desire to not have a team between Boston and New York. He wanted to spread teams through the US, therefore, the move to Carolina. He gained nothing in attendance or TV exposure, but did add a team in a non traditional market. With regard to the corporate tax system, companies pay taxes no matter the rate, what they add is employment and added taxes from employees, also helps remove people from assistance roles decreasing the needed aid. It makes good sense to maintain a good corporate rate (competitive) to help build your business base and increase employment. Government aid has only one benefit which is helping those who are unable to provide for themselves. Everyone else is a blood sucker.

I currently watch ESPN for CFB Games, NFL Games featuring my team, and the rare sporting events like The NCAA Wrestling, Lacrosse, or Hockey Tournaments which they broadcast. Not a fan of basketball, especially The NBA, so they have no appeal for me there.

ESPN’s $793 Million in Ad Sales on the Line With College Football

Walt Disney Co.'s ESPN, the dominant corporate force in college football, has a lot riding on this uncertain fall season.

No company has more money tied into the fate of this upcoming college footballseason than the Walt Disney Co.

The dominant corporate force in college sports, Disney’s ESPN co-owns two conference networks, has broadcast deals with nearly all of college football’s top division, and televises every major bowl. It also owns—literally—a large chunk of the smaller postseason games, and controls commercial rights like sponsorships and naming rights to the biggest.

Last year ESPN’s family of networks televised 282 games and sold $792.5 million in ads, according to Standard Media Index. To put that in perspective, ESPN’s NFL package only generated $314.8 million. Those numbers don’t include the college games televised by ESPN’s ACC Network and SEC Network, nor the plethora of other matchups streamed on ESPN+, its digital service, which costs $5 per month and is popular among football fans.

Death of the Antichrist?

Connecticut didn't run out GE. They left on their own accord and it's been an embarrassment.

Depends. SHU is turning the part of the corporate campus into a D1 hockey rink!
