That's essentially where TV networks are with respect to sports rights. Sports rights are going up and up and up to levels where they're eating into the profits of those TV networks. However, the problem is that very little else outside of sports is drawing live audiences on TV anymore, which means they're in a TINA situation. In essence, for a TV network today, the only thing worse than having to pay for live sports is not having live sports.
Bringing this back to realignment, why are sports rights going up? Demand increasing from sports being the last appointment television inventory, with very little supply changes. It’s the central principle to that Navigate projections in which all P5s climb.
