Message: [QUOTE="UConnJim, post: 4835710, member: 1559"] Look at the newspaper business. I have a friend who works in the business and when the newspaper became available on-line, they could measure how many people were reading each article and the newspaper's management had the ability to improve pay for the writers that were being read and reduce pay or positions for the writers who weren't being read. They didn't do that. Slowly but surely, the good writers in areas in which readers were interested started moving on and the writers that weren't being read clinged to their jobs as they had no alternative. Down the road, schools like Ohio State are going to say, we're bringing 1.5 million subscribers to the BTN at $10/month and Northwestern is only bringing in 50k subscribers, but our total media payment from all media partners is $100 million per year the same as Northwestern, so we want more. The whole media world is about clicks and views so I don't see why college football media compensation doesn't go the same way. And, I think this would be a very good thing for UConn athletics!
