I think it’s just a pipedream to try to make it seem broadly

appealing before actually getting any serious buy in from the Haves. I think there’s no indication the Haves are willing to split the pie even at favorable amounts because it’s hard to imagine a share that doesn’t dilute the Haves revenue from simply consolidating and playing a league schedule without letting others in.

I agree.

There's at least 25 teams on that list of 70 that don't make any sense to include. Games involving those teams don't draw enough eyeballs on TV.

There's a ton of data out there on tv eyeballs, streaming

potential, trends, match ups, time slots, etc. Heck, the B1G and SEC are as much media content companies as they are conferences. This is even more true when you partner them up with networks. It's all quite calculable, and when the biggest dogs in the room actually own the calculator and the data, they'll make it happen.

No team in slots 26-70 are going to find themselves shockingly enriched. There was a hierarchy to the sport 5 years ago and there will be one 5 years from now.
