Could be a factor in upcoming discussions as instead of ESPN3 exclusive, games can be placed on at least one RSN network as well.
My guess is some of the Big12 games formerly relegated to the Fox Regionals will now be seen on ESPN-U and ESPN-News. Guess who they might want to put on the Fox Regionals as a low cost replacement...

Back in the day, Fox paid CUSA 7 million a year for about 12 games or so for those Fox Regionals. I have a feeling this could adversely affect us.

Nothing like Tuesday and Wednesday night games to motivate and grow a fan base.

I wonder what the Justice Department will say about this merger. I know Comcast backed off of acquiring these pieces of FOX due to antitrust concerns. The anti trust concerns for Disney/FOX merger would be similar. Especially since they are even going after a vertical merger like ATT/Time Warner.

A few pluses here for Disney. They aren't a content provider and they don't really have an scripted cable channels aimed at adults that they fully own (Freeform is the closest).

They are starting their own streaming service to try and rival Netflix next year. One of the main reasons they are making this deal is for content for this service. They needed to scale up to even having a shot at competing.
WTS, they would have a better shot than Comcast, obviously. Still, Im curious what the Justice department will do.
