In reply to: Proposed Super League slide leaked out... posted by G.K.Chesterton
a regional structure, not football. Football has been the driver of moving away from regional conferences, to the detriment of non-revenue sports in the leagues. What a bizarre proposal.
Some want the revenue to stay with the sport that produced it and to hell with the other sports. It's sink or swim. Your sport doesn't generate money, too bad. But, yeah, conference structures based on a particular region helps the non-revenue sports woth travel costs alone. But the networks don't care about that. They care about what makes them money.
