No major sports rights renewals means.. stability?
To me, this says this is the only chance the PAC has at garnering large $$ - move to non-linear programing because that's the only bid that is out there and might be willing to pay a pretty penny because all other content is already locked up.
With the writer's/actors strikes (separate but connected), ESPN layoffs, absolutely ridiculous contracts already signed for existing media, some day this is going to end very badly for some. I'm happy that Fox Sports and others have joined the party because otherwise the puppetmaster (ESPN) would have already whittled this down to one (SEC) and maybe two (+ B1G) and left everyone else in the dust. It's happening anyhow but with more seats at the table (maybe 3 or 4 conferences).
