Correct. And I'm quite turned off by the idea that *universities* that use *unpaid students* as their labor are in an arms race for media money - money that, in the end, is quite literally pocket change for most of these schools. USC, for example, has an annual budget of $6.5B. That means this $ is about 0.4% of their annual total. That's *nothing* - a rounding error.
So, all of this for what amounts to - at most - about 2.5% of a university budget, partially offset by decreased viewership and increased travel costs.
The “100% about TV revenue” line is just killing me. None of this makes any sense at all. None.
It only makes sense in an arms race that requires ever more money.

Just stupid.
And what do you think your ESPN subscription rates are going to be in the future?
