They always featured the national powers. The good side of it was all the games were on during the day.

I was a big buckeye fan back in Woodies day.

Lots of tradition and great rivalries. eaglebostonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17536194020385661646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-9187910666850218672015-11-11T08:05:29.547-05:002015-11-11T08:05:29.547-05:00Not so sure.

I've never watched a game but they still get my money. I bet subscribers who don't watch Rutgers verses do are 100 to 1. This is ultimately what cord cutting is all about. It'll take a long time to play out though. You are right though, over the air broadcast can mitigate some of this.Hoibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12681823413809048599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-88487248865261601582015-11-10T20:35:21.208-05:002015-11-10T20:35:21.208-05:00I don't think so.

Commercials on a UHF station in Boston are more expensive than a UHF station in Dothan, Alabama. And traditionally ACC teams do well on TV. Live sports has a growing value and we are partnered with people still driving revenue from ad sales, not cable subscribers.

We are a valuable commodity now because we are in a large metro area that generates allot of revenue from people who never watch any of our games. If the sport gets to a funding model whereby the people actually watching the games are the only ones paying, we have issues.Hoibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12681823413809048599noreply@blogger.com
