College Football's Premier League and TV Monopoly Debate

And Chuck, when you see a team like Indiana, you and I know growing up, Indiana was one of the worst programs in college football history. You get the right guy and you spend the right money on the right people. You can make this thing happen. Let me ask you this. Do you buy the argument that if we go to a 2014 playoff conferences are meaningless now? No, no, no, no. I still think that you have to, again, I think, well, you know. Let me give you an example. why should Ohio State share revenue with Minnesota they shouldn't they should but then we're talking like they look at Notre Dame and they're like yeah i know yes exactly what we're talking about okay so then we're talking about something like the Premier League where you're going to take the top 60 football programs Chuck and you're going to put them in one league and have like it's going to be the Premier League and then you're going to have a smaller league with say San Diego State some of the other programs like TCU so if that's where you think you're going here the television networks have a lot to do with that too is that what they want i look i am you look you and i neither one of us are are work for one of the two major television networks that are controlling this so i think we can speak freely here right um guess who doesn't want competition for dollars in college football media rights, ESPN and Fox, right? You got it. The irony is if college football television rights were negotiated the way the NFL negotiates television rights, first of all, there'd be more money to the universities. It would cost ESPN and Fox more money. And by the way, more networks would end up getting smaller pieces of college football, just like we see with the NFL. ESPN and Fox want their monopoly. And the only way they get to keep their monopoly is that they make the conferences matter more and let the conferences decide how this works. They're the ones that created this Protect Sports Business Act.
