[QUOTE="topdecktiger, post: 129303302, member: 1459051"] Hate to rain on your parade here, but you've got some real world problems with this idea. 1) All the schools have sold their Tier 3 content. That would all have to be repurchased, keeping in mind that even lower-end teams have Tier 3 deals for around $4-5 million a year. 2) ESPN and Fox own the Tier 1 & 2 content. That's out the window. You would be limited to Tier 3 content, so you have a limited selection, and it's a selection of the least desirable content. 3) Related to #2, your idea about an Iowa St/Alabama game is out the window, for that reason. Those games will get picked up by ESPN or Fox. 4) You aren't going to make a living on coaches' shows or volleyball. The only thing that makes money is football, and to a lesser extent basketball. The problem with the WWE comparison is that they have feature content every week. You're talking about having feature content for 3 or 4 months, and again it's the low end of feature content. 5) There is a lot, a lot, more overhead than you anticipate. If you broadcast game, that means you have to completely produce it yourself. You have to pay the announcers, cameramen, producers, technicians, equipment, studios all off the top. That's a lot of money. Way more than the $20 million you are talking about. The reason BTN & SECN don't have that problem is because they partnered with Fox and ESPN. Those networks already have the equipment and personnel on hand. They are essentially taking games they would normally televise anyway, and just putting them on a specialty network. As such, there isn't really as much overhead cost as if a conference has to do it from scratch, like the Pac 12. 6) Let's just take a little common sense look at it. SECN paid out about $5.5 million this year. BTN paid out about $7.5 million last year. You are projecting $20 million. You really think the SEC and Big Ten are going to leave $10-15 million on the table every year? If there really was that much money in a streaming network, then those leagues would be in on it. Especially the SEC, since they just started a network last year. [/QUOTE]
