What's this?

I agree with what you are saying about viewership, but we seemed to be


talking about different things.

I agree the model will be about viewership, but a 50% drop on cable hook ups is huge! Even if there is only one substantial provider now, all it takes is some recruiting and increased pay and the secret behind the curtain is out. Things are changing so much faster now in this area and it is not on a ten year cycle any more. Things can change dramatically in 3-5 years and some things change even faster than that.

Translation, I can see two schools from a state or even a school from a smaller populous state if they have rabid fans. That has not been the model for expansion in the last 10-15 years. Expansion was to get new states that have new cable hook ups. I see that trend diminishing right now.
