They just laid off over 100 million dollars of broadcasting talent. Renegotiating sports broadcast contracts will be next. They simply aren't netting the numbers they used to and now the bubble is bursting. 2-3 years from now, every G5 contract will have been renegotiated by then. Disney is holding ESPN's feet to the fire to ensure that happens.

You mean the same company that just paid 3x more for Big 10 rights? Sports programming isn't going to get cheaper. Their margins will just not be as good. They are pushing off expensive talent to purchase live content. The live content is the only reason they get $5-$7 per household.

Honestly no idea where the AAC is going with our tv contract. My guess is $4 million, but who knows.
