Let’s dispense with the obvious…. More money is greater than less money. With that out of the way, what is the big deal between 60m dollar deal and a 45m deal and a 35m dollar deal?

Football and basketball coaches will be well compensated. So too with gymnastics. The extra $ or not will impact the lesser sports.

Money becomes a huge issue if we have to pay players. Absent that then maybe we don’t have the best locker room? Maybe we don’t have all the ancillary “stuff” that is given in lieu of payment. But the teams can still be incredibly competitive.

What we want is good distribution and ability to see games across the country at times that are not past midnight est.

What am I missing?
