I think if you take USC, you have to add another school to the west like Texas, Oklahoma, or Kansas and then split into two divisions for all sports.

If you take USC for the market, then I would assume you go after University of Houston for their market as well.

Cord cutting customers not wanting to spend as much on cable.

Let's see if this gets sorted by football season.
