TN Dawg, have some thoughts on that, like you not sure. Do believe that the final numbers will come down when . . . .
The number of outlets that sign on with ESPN. I know for example . . . . My cable carrier held out for years on the NFL because of price. Finally my provider gave in to ESPN on the price, however you will never guess who that was passed along to.
Believe that you will probably have a choice as to which {bracket} you want to participate in . . . . The Good, The Better or The Best. If you want to choose a particular game, guessing you will subscribe for The Best.
Being very familiar with the ways of M&M, it will come down to the green stuff. With periodic increases because attendance will go down in the stadiums on Saturdays, meaning a portion of the greenbacks will also flow back to the universities.
This is one of the reasons that I think our University is stock piling for the future.
Like the offshore fishing I did for many years. First we set the hook on the Tuna, then we after a period of time . . . . reel it in.
