[QUOTE="ILL_INI, post: 1468299, member: 4851"] Gritty, you crack me up. To support your first sentence/paragraph, you admit in the second paragraph to having been wrong with a previous speculation on the subject, followed up with your only fact in the third paragraph being wrong (first tier rights have increased in attractiveness as evidenced by the increased payouts) and finished with pure speculation in the fourth paragraph. One would think BTN revenue should go down from cable and up from streaming services, but the numbers are pure speculation at this point. Either way, first tier rights bring in a lot more than the BTN, and pretty much everyone had speculated ESPN/ABC would come in much lower than they did in the last round of negotiations. While I don't believe the rights will keep increasing at the current pace, and wouldn't be surprised if they drop, I don't think any drop will be caused by "less attractive" match-ups with Maryland and Rutgers.
