Message: [QUOTE="businesslawyer, post: 3546488, member: 55"] I guess I'm on an island by myself, but I don't get why this contract has folks jumping for joy. For the last few years, it was nothing but whining when we stuck on CBSSN. And assuming the contract value is what we were told -- and not what some want to reinterpret it as -- we got far more for our football the last few years, and would have been getting more -- even net -- going forward. I want football to succeed as much as anyone. But just like the Ohio State announcement, this just doesn't push the needle at all as to whether we can survivie as an Indy. We moved for hoops, and so be it, but I'm still not convinced we can survive in football this way. And certainly this announcement hasn't moved the needle assuming we're getting not much more than $250k a year for our football TV rights. [/QUOTE]
