I believe he said he was ‘86-‘90, so he talked about gettin to see the rise of the program back then all that.Dan is a CU grad. He majored in history and graduated in, I think 1987, but I could be off by a couple of years.

Gonzaga has a football team?Eastern Washington, Boise St, Gonzaga football team, Idaho, Sac. St, San Jose St, Fresno St, Nevada, Wyoming be like
Don't worry, we'll throw in a couple of Paul Bunyan hats for the kids if we lose to them again. I'd forgot about that too, wonder why?Oh man. I had completely blocked that game from my memory.
1. Cord cutting is sort of a red herring when it comes to this issue. Bundling will still play a major role with sports packages on decentralized TV platforms. It’s just that the people who get the sports packages will pay more for higher tiers. Higher tiers negotiated by networks and conferences.
2. The B1G added two teams from Los Angeles to get top tier guaranteed money from all providers in LA. Plus, the B1G removed all other conferences from getting top tier guaranteed money from the LA market by taking both U$C and UCLA. UCLA is not a ratings juggernaut even in LA. This example is actually an argument against your ratings concept.
The full year of fees via millions of people having only cable, dish, or dtv was good money considering some didnt even watch sports but still subsidized it.

There are also people on this very board that say they only carry Sling or Yahoo during football season since its month to month. Thus denying networks 12 full month of subscriber fees. I suppose the future will be premium tiers as you describe thatll just be more expensive and count on die hard sports fans to pay up.
Cord cutting is still happening. The two wealthiest networks, Fox and ESPN/Disney are consolidating the most valuable properties under their respective umbrellas to keep eyes on their programming. That suggests to me that if youre not in either of the two conferences these networks care about youre going to be on the outside looking in in terms of payday. These same networks also probably know where cord cutting is happening and where it isnt happening.
I need to figure all of this out. I have been waiting for the end of the Tour de France to consider getting rid of my cable and DVD.Idk anyone my age (20s) with a cable subscription. We just watch the games on the internet for free ezpz
If you consider all of the trackers and personal data getting stolen, it’s not a direct payment, though definitely not free.Idk anyone my age (20s) with a cable subscription. We just watch the games on the internet for free ezpz
Amazon Prime is not free. As Amazon acquires more live sports programming and they build their monopoly, their fees will rise.Dead on. I’m 37 and have never subscribed to cable or satellite in my adult life. I have Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, ESPN + and Amazon Prime. Verizon pays for the Disney package and Amazon is thrown in with our prime membership so I guess I pay $40 a month. I only carry sling for a few select months to watch the Buffs or NBA/NHL playoffs.
I have zero interest in paying Comcast $150 a month for 200 channels I won’t watch littered with ads every 3 minutes.
SIAP
People will still want to watch sports on TV. Even on decentralized platforms, as cable and satellite transition to app based viewing, sports fans will have to pay more to watch sports on TV on both fronts. Cable/satellite companies will raise their fees for sports packages. Month-to-month will always be more expensive because they’re accounting for cancellations during non-peak watch times.The full year of fees via millions of people having only cable, dish, or dtv was good money considering some didnt even watch sports but still subsidized it.

His WWI ones are greatBy the way you idot bitches. Dan Carlin? Are you kidding me? What a terrific spokesman for our Buffs. I had no idea until I listened to the earlier mentioned podcast today. Can’t wait to hear his hardcore history pods.

Your package with Verizon is currently inexpensive and will also eventually run out. It’s not like they can give you that service and provide you with phone/data for that fee forever. They won’t do so either.
Nothing is free if you try to account for all possible externalities… no ****If you consider all of the trackers and personal data getting stolen, it’s not a direct payment, though definitely not free.
I can't wait until I get to dump Comcast at the new house. We are paying $200/month for a bundle that is cheaper than internet alone. They get away with this because CenturyLink doesn't have a credible competing product at the current house.
At the new house, I'll get CenturyLink 1 gig fiber for $65/month price for life with no contract. You can cancel at any time.
Which may mean that we end up having to pick and choose which sports we are willing to pay for and lose access to much that we aren't.People will still want to watch sports on TV.

Cable/satellite companies will raise their fees for sports packages. Month-to-month will always be more expensive because they’re accounting for cancellations during non-peak watch times.
My only point is that cord cutting is not inexpensive. It’ll continue to be get even more expensive as mega corporations like Amazon start raising prices for Prime every 3-6 months.I never said it would be free or cost this much forever. But, prime video is thrown in with our prime shipping so for me it’s free because i wouldn’t subscribe to it. Verizon is a nice add-on but once that does I’ll cancel all of those too save for maybe Disney +

Agree completely. The golden age of broadcast TV is over. The dominance of pro and college sports grabbing the country's attention is peaked and wills lowly start slipping away.Although I’m far from a Gen Z or even a millennial for that matter, I too completely cut the cord and subscribe to no package deal. I have streaming HBO Max, Netflix, and Apple+. $30/month total. I already had Amazon Prime. I guess you could throw that in for another $10/month on average. I have a NY Times subscription and listen to NPR and the Buffs on the radio for free. I guess I’m a lot like the 20 somethings on here. Even if they gave me cable tv for free, I’d decline it. Too many crap stations and obnoxious commercials. Older people with cable tend to just leave it on some lame news station like Fox or CNN all day, which forms a sort of noise pollution in the home.
Having said the above, I get @manhattanbuff ‘s point. Perhaps we are underestimating the sports programmers ability to keep monetizing their product. I personally see a revenue slope downward. I also believe there are far fewer sports fans than people think. People like my wife who would rather drink dishwater than sit in front of the TV “watching asshole jocks play with their balls”. Or my young son who loves to fish, and swim, and surf, but could barely name five players in the NFL.
We shall see how it plays out.
But they already do. Add up what most streaming services cost (including the hidden up-charges you pay when bundled elsewhere) and you’re already paying a boat load since each service is $10-15 per month. It feels cheaper because they’re separate. Added together, it still costs $80-$100 per month.They’ll hit a point of diminishing returns where the cost out ways the service. If nobody wants to pay for cable now they certainly won’t pay cable like pricing for a streaming service.
This is part of why I haven't cut the cord.I don't quite get why people include the cost of internet service when they discuss how much comcast, Verizon, time Warner, etc, etc charge for "cable TV," but then exclude it when they talk about how much the streaming services cost.
Include it in both, or exclude it from both.
When you do that, they're a whole lot closer in price.
