[QUOTE="illinoisportsfan, post: 1211504, member: 3733"] The thing is, the platforms may change, but the value of the content will not change. The reason the sports leagues are able to extort such large subscriber fees from cable providers is 1) the ad revenue live sports can generate and 2) the loyalty of sports fans who will readily switch providers if they can't watch their favorite team(s) play. Those two things are not going to change, no matter what method is used to extract money from broadcast platforms. And the B1G has arguable the largest and most-loyal fan bases in college sports and also the best media markets. Relative to all of their competitors, with the possible exception of the SEC, the B1G schools are guaranteed to make the most money from their broadcast rights fees. [/QUOTE]
