The reality is…we don’t know. We don’t know if people will continue to cut cords. We don’t know if Cable will make a comeback…or a streaming version of cable.
Money drives this. Not Ohio State, not Alabama. It’s subscribers to Comcast, DISH, Directv…It’s the little old lady who watches FOX NEWS 24 hours a day paying $8 to ESPN every month.
There is a chance they reinvent cable tv and in 5 years we are all paying $150 a month for a package again and the money is flowing and we get two power conferences with 64 teams…or 56…or whatever.
There is a chance that cords get cut, no one signs up for ESPN, ESPN+, Peac**k, B1G Network, Paramount, FOX Sports, etc and the money isn’t there and USC and UCLA reform the P12 and Texas and OU take the rest of the ACC and Big 12 and we have four power conferences with less money.
We don’t know yet.
