I am still unclear on something. If I choose to sign up, can you choose the games you wish to watch? For example ... if UGA is playing UK and Bama is playing LSU can I watch UGA?

Not sure if that made sense. Guess we will have to see the schedule of programing.

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.

I am waiting to see how it shakes out. Now doubt that season tickets will be effected, however feel that the loses will be in the traveling ticket holders. Those tickets will be gobbled (in UGA's case by the ATL group). As I stated in a previous post, it makes no sense for me to shell out the bucks for season tickets when I can watch in comfort of living room. Will miss the atmosphere. Have to look at the $$$ in the long run.

We're looking at the $$$ here at my house too. We just cut the cable TV (again - had not had it in years - even UGA football didn't really justify all the expense). Television is worthless. I've got a radio - I wonder how long it will be before they take the games off the air to push people to pay per view? I may soon be relegated to reading about the games the day after they happen - until they decide to only offer "pay per read" accounts of the games, sort of like Rivals.com does now with certain articles. It's pretty depressing.
