And that is with them jacking up their prices like crazy. It will be interesting to see what happens if ESPN really does decide to go direct streaming only - how many would leave Youtube TV (or cable) b/c of that.YouTube TV has yet to turn a profit for Google. Eventually they're going to care about that, especially when the TV stations push this through and make YTTV and all the other vMVPD's get treated like cable companies. LINK

I woulld think underclassmen or to-be-juniors at the remaining four schools. Would you stick around and watch your program digress into a merger with the MWC? Especially if you’re (or were) highly regarded enough to be an possible All-PAC12 level player. Like the WSU LB Miami we signed.Why do u think that? R u referring to those school’s that switched conferences or the kids stuck at the 4 who haven’t switched yet?
yep.Big 12 or ACC IMO. We've seen this play before.
Can't leave the ACC to join the B12 .... too expensive to live. Can ONLY leave to join the B10.yep.
Yep and if the writers and actors get their way (or anything more favorable to them in regards to streaming pay than they currently have), those services are going to lose even more money and/or have to increase their prices more.Part of the reason Disney is considering offloading their broadcast properties is because while ESPN is still profitable, Disney+, like almost every other streamer, isn't, and is hemorrhaging money. That, combined with dwindling theme park attendance numbers and the billion-dollar losses from the monumental box office flops has created the perfect storm as investors have started focusing more on profits as opposed to growth.
Reminds me of coach speak.
This is all correct except attendance. This is slightly down this year compared to last but still better than any year 2021 and earlier . 2022 shattered records and was unattainable once the rest of the country opened up.Part of the reason Disney is considering offloading their broadcast properties is because while ESPN is still profitable, Disney+, like almost every other streamer, isn't, and is hemorrhaging money.

In comments to ESPN on Friday, Miami athletic director Dan Radakovich echoed what Cunningham said. "Florida State is doing what Florida State feels like it needs to do," Radakovich said. "Each of our schools have to make their own decisions. But on top of all of it, we need to continue to try to make the ACC as strong as we can make it. We've got our grant of rights, we have all those other pieces that are associated with keeping ourselves together. Right now, we feel really strongly that our best course of action is to keep the ACC together and try to make it as strong as it can be."
Yes, in the technical application, but not in the context of what most people think when they hear 'streaming service.' YoutubeTV may stream content, but they are much closer to cable (and so is DirectTV/Dish) in what they provide as opposed to a Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, etc which is what I meant by streaming services.
If you want to call it something else, fine but the concern was that people would move away from traditional channel bundling where they were forced to pay for ESPN even if they didn't watch it b/c they wanted to be able to watch other channels that weren't over the air.

Hopefully this means Rad isn’t putting all of Miami’s eggs in one basket. I want to leave the ACC for either the $EC or B1G (my preference) but if that doesn’t work out the ACC can’t sit still and implode like the PAC Down-To-4.Not a very reassuring article. Poor messaging. However, maybe Rhad the Impaler is taking a Maciavellian approach...
One observation did stand out...
"...ACC schools could simply wait for FSU to be the one to cut a sizable check on its way out the door."
Being real there only two Costco baskets, the next best option would be the small basket you get for the express lane.Hopefully this means Rad isn’t putting all of Miami’s eggs in one basket.

They also can't be paralyzed into no action with a $30MM-$50MM gap in revenue.Hopefully this means Rad isn’t putting all of Miami’s eggs in one basket.

This analogy is a poor one man.I'm not ignoring the updates, I just think they are 63% bullish!t because there is a 20+ year track record of incompetence with dozens of examples of bad decisions.
If you had a family member who constantly lied to you and pretty much only made bad decisions for 20+ years, would you co-sign a mortgage because the family member claimed to have cleaned up his act in the last 10 months? My guess is probably not - the family member would need to earn back your trust by establishing a track record of good decisions and that will take a long, long time.
