I'm pretty sure it won't.

While fixating on the media rights dollar amount, I'm concerned that the loss of value for advertising (with a streaming deal) the games on the over the air/cable/satellite carried channels, the loss of connection to the older and the rural segment of their market and alumni and fans (which happen to be larger part of the audience, and more loyal customers, and pump more $s in in the long run), the loss of new customer recruitment from channel surfers, and the loss of revenue from advertisers who won't reach as large a market from poor distribution, will wind up in total costing even more. That part of the valuation equation is being largely overlooked.
