[QUOTE="WesterveltVictoryCigar, post: 1309662, member: 3734"] We've already seen that it's tough to be a "middle man" these days, people are going straight to the source for the most valuable content. Started with the phone companies, next was cable companies, now it's content providers like ESPN. Netflix saw this coming when they couldn't acquire the rights to new shows, so they started producing their own content. So the Big Ten Network becomes more critical for distributing the content the league owns and what changes is the distribution model itself. I think you'll see more efforts around making Big Ten games directly accessible via streaming and then we'll have to see about how the bundling goes with the new world around distribution of other content.
