Fox Sports 1 vs ESPN

There just aren't that many good sports out there without existing deals.

There's the NASL, I guess, but even that's a reach.

Correct, that is a national reach.

Unless the NASL will purchase the satellite time and are able to sell the advertising themselves. But they could do that on CBSSN.

Yeah, considering MLS was buying its airtime, what, two or three years ago, the NASL's definitely going to have to pony up if it wants exposure. And even then, it's getting tape-delayed on CBS Sports, a couple rungs down the priority ladder from the Arena League and the indoor & outdoor lacrosse league. Minor-league soccer's focus should be far, far away from trying to land a TV deal.

Someone's gonna shoot up a public place because there's too much sports on TV. It'll probably be someone here. I'll bet on, oh, Rockstar Backstreet Boy Matt.

This is why the D4 move will be interesting to watch. College sports is a great way to fill content. How much cash will they throw to get more markets for the Big12 and Big10.

Tell that to The Longhorn Network or that FCS (Fox College Sports) channel.

Also there are only three major deal still out there to be had in the 2010s: MLS (starting in 2015), B1G (starting in 2017), NBA (starting in 2017).

FS1 is a boon for two organizations: The Big East and the UFC.

Then again the rights for the "new USFL*" and the A-11 Football League are still out there for everyone.

*-To all you USFL lovers, read the blog.

You know there is a difference Longhorn network content and conference contract content. College football and basketball has been an excellent filler for ESPN.

The problem with Longhorn network is it is only Longhorn crap. No one wants to play on there. Now if it were the Big12&10 network it would have been more successful.

It did not even take Florida State moving to the Big XII, but you fall for the hard count so quickly.

So, let me get this right. MInor league soccer is not worthy of television coverage, yet the NFL's minor league system, AKA the fraudulent NCAA, can be?

Low minor league soccer is not worthy of television coverage. The MLS is minor league soccer.

Huh?

Anyway, my point is very valid.

And I am very happy with the outcome of realignment so far. The ACC caved to almost every FSU demand it could. Hence why Louisville is in the ACC instead of UConn. And no, it isn't done.
