Mr. Mouse is vulnerable. The mothership needs partners.

Consolidation

More like CON-solidation. The con is this will be sold as a great deal and one stop shop for sports consumers, when in reality it will be a significant price hike for consumers so the networks can keep meeting media rights demands.

This right here.

To create another NFL, you have to pay for it first. People need to understand this. Signing up for these ever increasing subscription fees is you giving your approval and support to the coming split of college football.

Don't do it.

Can't disagree, that's one step ahead logistics logic right there.

Which will probably still black you out for home games 300 miles out of market of your favorite MLB franchise.

Watch the oldest scam in the books "BAIT & SWITCH". They will sell you a package early about giving you access to all sports you are interested in watching. Then after you pay up, you will be informed of the fine print that spells out all the exclusions. Some of these can be added for extra fees and some will not be available at all.
This could start another Civil War.

This is what streaming has been about from the beginning. Lure them in. Close off their options. Gouge them.
